Hog weed moss rose verolaga
\nOther names for the Purslane
\nIt hugs the ground
\nThats what I have found
\nAnd likes the heat
\nAgain
\nIts element is water
\nAnd its Feminine ruled by the moon
\nLove and luck and happiness
\nA succulent always in tune<\/p>\n
The Chinese call it
\n“MA CHI XIAN”
\nIt cools the blood
\nAnd clears damp heat
\nGrows in India and Pakistan
\nBut grows here
\nTo
\nAnd can compete<\/p>\n
Its very wild
\nHas omega 3
\nSome call it a super food
\nAnd its free
\nPlanted by nature
\nBrought by the birds
\nWho in a nutshell are
\nAre not Lost for words<\/p>\n
Add to salads
\nAnd stir fries
\nIts salty and lemony
\nA surprise
\nHas oxalic acid
\nAnd a “pickly” taste
\nWith yellow flowers
\nDelicately graced<\/p>\n
Its drought tolerant
\nAnd can be
\nGrown from seed
\nRemarkably
\nIt germinates
\nJust with light
\nAnd can be prolific
\nAll this in spite<\/p>\n
Of gardeners
\nTreating its very soul
\nWith madness
\nUsing weedkillers
\nIts really sadness
\nThat I do feel
\nSeeing toxicity
\nAs the reward
\nFor a food
\nThat anyone can afford<\/p>\n
High levels of pectin
\nSo thickening soups
\nPaddle shaped leaves
\nGrowing in groups
\nStems can be reddish
\nIt likes to be
\nSprawling around
\nA path lazily<\/p>\n
Place under a pillow
\nMay induce sleep
\nCarry it on you
\nFor the love you may reap
\nSome leaves in a sandwich
\nGives you a zing
\nIts wildness a gift
\nFor it has everything<\/p>\n
In the crafte
\nIt is known as
\nBlood of ares
\nA notion a potion
\nIn pesto no less
\nIts a good little plant
\nA summery soul
\nJust loves the sun
\nAnd will brighten
\nYour bowl<\/p>\n
Of foraged wild lettuce
\nThere is so much to choose
\nEating gifted plantlife
\nWhat is there to loose
\nProvided they are clean
\nAnd havent been sprayed
\nLet its bold tonicity
\nCome to your aid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
