Bluebell
By Brian F Kirkham (inkdropk)
From deep among the woodland green
a musical flower sends out the call
swaying in the gentle breeze, it passes a message
from brother to sister it goes through the trees
as the messengers sway in the gentle wind
with the arrival of Spring
“wake up – one and all !
our message is clear
the winter has departed
and spring is now here…”

Captured by the artist, a field of wildflowers
Others might call it – a sea of blue
Round trees, and grass I see you
Navigating your path through the grass, helped by the breeze
Forming a trail, you and your kin, around the cows
Lovely flower, with spiky petals
Over the green fields you grow – a butterfly’s dream
When seen , its difficult to predict or
Expect what will happen to you, are you off on a journey or will you
Rest in the basket of a passing visitor

King 👑 of the wildflower beasts
in the centre of the lawn you survey your kingdom
blades of grass bow to your yellow mane
as your family sets root across the square of green
one day, it will be time to pass your crown 👑 to another
but until then enjoy your moment in the sun ☀️
providing shade for the beetles.

Humble wildflower, mistaken for a common weed.
Patches of your glorious gold – shine in the morning sun
Bringing a smile to insects and birds alike
As bright as the sun, wise men use you for medicine
and your cousins look on with their lion like stare
for in essence – they’re a pale imitation
while you can make the people better
all they can do, is make them sneeze!
They took a mechanical pair of scissors
To God’s green carpet
Sticky black runways linked city and town
Whilst up in the hills, mountain sheep frowned
Till one day men held their pride
Railway restored, roads no longer seen
All that were seen were lakes and valleys green
Feet travelled gravelled paths
As local wildlife took their bath
Wildflowers in arrays of colour
Created colourful scenes of life and fuller.
And large lorries made their way
As on another transport the goods did play
