Spellbound Poem by Ernestine Northover

Spellbound

Rating: 5.0


A bluebell wood, such a sight to see,
Blue haze wrapped softly around each tree.
Sweet perfume just drifting through the air,
Oh, how I wish that I could be there.

So restful to the eyes and the mind,
A beauty that is so well defined.
One sea of blossom over the ground,
Oh, how I wish to observe, spellbound.

Those stems of bells, that silently ring,
Welcoming in the newly born spring.
A mass of flowers, a carpet fine,
Oh, how I wish that they could be mine.

As you know I live in deep country and snow drops are our first signs of spring, then the blue bells and daffs to complete the trio....I have a garden since I moved, the snow drops have come and the daff are raising their heads, spring will soon be here. your poem reminded me so much of a wood we used to walk with our kids, quite close to here....at a certain time of year, it is covered in blue bells. The essence of life itself imo. Great poem, just take yourself off in spiritual minds eye. Smiling at you, Tai

Spring won't be able to resist this invitation. I especially love your second line which really opens the scenery to my mind's eye. Take care, Magda
