Turdus Viscivorus
\nA turd on a stick
\nMistletoe
\nViscus Album
\nThe berry some pick
\nThe Mistletoe Thrush
\nBlackbirds and Field Fare
\nGet valuable nutrients
\nThey are aware<\/p>\n
The Druids were familiar
\nWith the plant
\nAnd they did
\nUse it for ritual
\nReally in a bid
\nTo protect and to
\nThink Peace and Prosperity
\nAt Winter Solstice
\nYou\u2019d be certain to see<\/p>\n
Mistletoe takes a full year to seed
\nIt\u2019s by penetration
\nBirds like to feed
\nOn the berries nutrition
\nA long time ago
\nThey were called the Storm Cock
\nAs now you will know<\/p>\n
An arrowhead marking on the head
\nDefines this bird
\nSong thrushes are more spotted
\nYou have my word
\nEggs laid at Imbolc
\nEarly therefore in nests
\nMade of moss grass and roots
\nAnd for sure
\nMud is like mortar
\nFor a longer tenure<\/p>\n
In Autumn the berries
\nAre god sends for birds
\nHolly and the Ivy
\nHawthorn the words
\nUsed on the tree tops
\nRowan and Mistletoe
\nApples left on the ground
\nWhere Even the Yew
\nBerries sometimes are found<\/p>\n
Amazingly yew berries
\nAre deadly to man
\nBut the Miste thrush loves them
\nAnd so the plan
\nCreate wintry berries
\nAimed at tHe birds
\nMessengers actually
\nNe\u2019er lost for words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
