Wild Flowers Poem by Christopher Tye

Wild Flowers

Dandelion's golden yellow blooms to pretty to be weeds,
Honesty's purple flower giving way to those seed pods,
Creeping Buttercup looking so nice amongst the grass,
Daisies peering over tended lawns,
Thistles may be prickly but look at those flowers.

Campion growing in paddocks gently flowering,
Wild Roses forming under scrub and smelling sweetly,
Dead Nettles with tiny flowers growing where they can,
Cow Parsley weeds maybe but just look at their flowers,
Buddleias colonising anywhere they can feeding butterflies.
