creamy white crinoline
\nLace of desire
\nOut in the hedgerows
\nSent to Inspire
\nLoves growing near water
\nHolds such dignity
\nRuled by the moon
\nAnd grows vigorously<\/p>\n
It makes a good hedge
\nWith the Hawthorn as they
\nBoth enjoy Cherry Laurel
\nWhose green leaves do stay
\nOut in the forefront
\nFrom the earth to the crown
\nSweet fragrant blossom
\nAnd a rich berried gown<\/p>\n
Make a light batter
\nOf rice and kudzu
\nA pan of light oil
\nA quick fry all you do
\nIt crisps up lightly
\nIt\u2019s fragrant attire
\nWonderfully scented
\nA flavoursome fire<\/p>\n
The berries when ripe
\nIn the autumn we see
\nA cider of sorts and
\nA decoction that be
\nWonderfully healing
\nA tonic of sorts
\nSpenser wrote of it
\nIn his bitterest thoughts<\/p>\n
Young wood is pithy
\nOften its made into whistles
\nBy children tragically played
\nBut it doesn\u2019t make sense
\nFor the sickening comes
\nMore frequent they say
\nThan when playing the drums<\/p>\n
Pop guns were used
\nMaybe 100 years hence
\nIn gardens
\nThe thrust From over a fence
\nA cork in the ear
\nNot the nicest of blows
\nThe lovely red stems
\nWhere the forage food grows<\/p>\n
The fae how they love them
\nThe witches too
\nConstruct their brooms with them
\nThat\u2019s what they do
\nWearing an elder wreath
\nOn Samhain eve
\nEncourage the spirits a\u2019 rising
\nTo achieve<\/p>\n
A height in the heavens
\nAnd help us to feel
\nWhatever is out there
\nOfcourse it is real
\nNature is clearly constrained by it all
\nWitches transform into elders
\nA call
\nOn the magickal influences
\nYes one and all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
