Wild Flowers in my Garden
 
 

Across scrambling speedwell
Fireweed piggybacks periwinkle
Past giggling red poppy
On a summer breeze

Behind tall goosegrass
Mandrake and hemlock
Practice magic
On a purple fleabane

Dandelion holds buttercup
Seeing honesty and sorrel
Chase butterflies in-between
Handsome spikes of foxglove

In the cool of evening
Ragwort kisses snapdragon
While chicory and clover
Laugh quietly nearby.
