Meadowsweet Poem by angela croft

Meadowsweet

Rating: 5.0


Jane Austen's Bicentenary 2017

I picture you, Jane,
selecting scraps of cloth
to patch your quilt with buttercups,
clover, lemon balm

your needle sure as a feather quill
you stitch a song with feverfew,
bluebells, forget-me-nots
and the wood anemone,

this lowly beauty
caught in a flush of sunshine
before the canopy closes.
