I took a walk . . . over hill and dale,
across meadow and stile,
to the place where an old Oak stood . . .

and there . . . beneath it's branches lay
a sight magnificent and pure,
the splendour of a bluebell wood . . .

A carpet filled with blue and green
blanketing all within it's path
as far as the eye could see . . .

A heavenly gift . . .
from a heavenly realm . . .
for just such as you and me . . .

I bent my ear unto the ground . . .
for I thought that I could hear

Amidst the whisper of the breeze,
beneath that canopy of trees . . .
a faint . . . and holy sound

a million little tinkles
which brought me to my knees . . .
upon that cool damp ground

on that sunny day . . . beneath that tree . . .
in a beautiful blue hazed symphony
in the cathedral of
the bluebell wood . . .

Just a bit on nonsensical poetry from me today. It's not even really that good. But I wanted to share . . .

Cooking in The English Kitchen today . . . Sticky Bangers with Buttermilk and Chive Mash. So good!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteThat is lovely Marie...There are some beautiful bluebell woods around me and they are a truly delightful thing to see....Your poem just "blends" in so wonderfully..Thank you...and I do love the photographs xx
ReplyDeleteYou are such a talented lady, Marie. Crafty, chef extraordinaire, and now such pretty poetry. Reminds me of Wordsworth.
ReplyDeleteOn a totally different note, I was in London for 3 days ( returned yesterday) and it did not rain a drop. Came home to Limehouse( maybe you remember it from your Georgetown days) and it was pouring cats and digs all day
Thanks Sybil. I was enjoying the bluebells yesterday and the sight was still with me when I woke up this morning and this was what came out!
ReplyDeleteAnna, you are so kind to say such things to me. I do remember Limehouse. Don't forget April showers bring May flowers! xxoo
bluebells, one of my fav things. Did you do the paintings.? I recognize the places and the photos they came from how did you do that?
