A kind of pink wild rose
\nA flower of such esteem
\nA leaf resembling that of the bay
\nAnd the Willow it\u2019s a dream
\nIn many parts around the lay-by\u2019s
\nAnd edges of the wood
\nThis remarkably beautiful
\nSpiky soul
\nDoes really all it should<\/p>\n
With forget me knots and buttercups
\nDandelions a garden wild
\nAn edible medicinal liquor and pickle mild
\nScores of them rise rapidly
\nBee\u2019s love them the sweet flowers
\nWaving in the early summer
\nWith all their wondrous powers
\nIvan Chai a herbal tea
\nA pickle from the stalk
\nA cleansing green so tasty
\nA bunch pulled on a walk<\/p>\n
The hedgerows extra charming
\nAs cover plants they show
\nPollinating wisdom
\nWhere ever the soulful go
\nThey colonise a garden patch
\nEdible all through
\nMaking exceptional salads
\nAs Fire weed and they do<\/p>\n
Arrive after a fire has dealt
\nIt\u2019s high octane burn
\nBomb weed is it\u2019s other name
\nIn craters you might learn
\nRenewal of a destructive force
\nSuch magick it performs
\nAnd a free and tasty salad
\nAdding flavour as it warms<\/p>\n
An, ancestral pain killer
\nFrom the ashes it doth grow
\nAttracting favoured flavour
\nFrom the earth works down below
\nIn many ways so special
\nSweet cucumber pith as well
\nInside the stem nutrition
\nIt is indeed a spell<\/p>\n
Some mint leaves plantain mallow
\nDock leaf stalks cooked will
\nBring a wholesome relish
\nAnd some umber spill
\nThe vinegar of Dublin
\nWith its \u201cMothers\u201d intact
\nThrough Spring until the Summer ends
\nClearly flavour packed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
