Thank you for the poem and songs today. I especially liked listening to "Hello" this morning.

Columbine
opened her petals today
she was expected to
be received with warmth

She now with head bowed
In reverence to the cold
waits in anticipation
of warm kisses from sol.

Fiddle Head Fern
spread her fronds
to catch the sun--
If you were very
keen as you strolled past her
you can smell the woodsy aroma.

But, if you happened to
caress her ever so gently
she carried herself into your nostrils
and rode along with you.

Rabbits Foot ferns..
Never could get the darn things to grow.
Dunno why the poem reminded me of them.

These Fern were in my back yard when I moved here. The fronds multiply over the years. I dearly love them and the aroma they emit.

You call them by another name! Did you know they are edible? They are delicious but must be gathered at a very early stage just as they form and are coiled very tight. A very short reaping time for them. They can be frozen and eaten year around.

Rabbits Foot Ferns are also edible, but they're more fuzzy and harder to get to grow.
There's a book I have somewhere in my possession that tells you how to cook the young fronds.
Also tells you about yewberries.
Hint, don't eat yewberries.
*chuckle*
I'm the only guy who I know of who would have a garden containing Monkshood, Foxglove, Bleeding Heart, and Nightshade.
UNfortunately, I live in an area where the local kids would nibble on said garden.

Monkshood, Foxglove, Bleeding Heart, and Nightshade.

I, also have Foxglove. I love these flowers. I don't have Bleeding Heart, it's was a favorite of my mom.

Monkshood? Is there a common name for this plant? Jack In the Pulpit???? Nightshade, tomatoes are a member of this family.

I'll put a filter on it for you baby
just wanted you to know
I stopped loving you
a long time ago

Adios, Farewell, best I can do
She looked better than me
Just wanted you to know, I knew

Butterflies in December
elusive as love in May...

Magnolias in May thaw
frosted eyes winter's residue...

Remembering You When Violets Are Blue

While picking violets
it occurred to me
how very good the
Lord God is to me...

Oh the colours rare
of violets in the gardens' hair
near tree trunks broad and wide
in open patches by the path side
near Fiddle Head Fern's unfurling leaves
by the bird baths waiting in the breeze...

Under skies of pastels' blue
my memory thoughts
all turn to you
of loves embrace in violet time...
how sweet it is when you are mine...

I (yet again)rewrote some lines.
I'm sure you can understand the
reason for it's title...

Acidtrippy

'twas breakfast for the slothy gnome
who mumbled & gurgled on some brains
all flimsy were the garlic cloves &
the bathrobes outcame....

"Becare the Jagger Talk, long Jon
the gummsy mite, his lips do flap!
Becare the ju-ju bees, and run
from the numerous bands you watch!"

Be shook by whirlpool tubs with hands
Wrong time for madness so he thought.
so wrestled he with yard gnomes, three
and fumed awhile distraught

As by the gimpish ref he stood
the Jagger Talk, all lips & novocaine,
came slobbering in his tulle gray suit.
And drooled as he came.

Who knew?! Who knew?! It was only you?
the portal gave my knickers back!
I left my bed and on my sled
I crashed into a smokestack,

and blasted the face of Jagger Talk.
His flailing lips, oh boy, oh boy.
Augh, frightening play! Too few! More hay!
He curdled at the ploy

'twas breakfast for the slothy gnome
who mumbled & gurgled on some brains
all flimsy were the garlic cloves &
the bathrobes outcame....

Monkshood is usually poisonous.
And Potatos are the ONLY edible member of the nightshade family.
