Plants Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Plants
Showy tidytips, grim the collier
Wolf's peach, silver lace dusty miller
Bastard toadflax, hooker's onion
Sweet herb of Paraguay, beaver poison
Cock-drunk, pigsqueak, Paddy's river box
Old fashioned baby's breath, townhall clock
Batchelor's buttons water pumpy
Kiss her in the buttery, sweet darling pea
Enchanter's nightshade, meadow cranesbill
Summer pheasant's eye, creeping cinquefoil
Nodding burr marigold, mignonette
Biting stonecrop, hairy violet
Forking larkspur, slender speedwell
Solomon's seal and Scottish asphodel
Kidney vetch, frogbit, lady's slipper
Mouse ear hawkweed, water soldier
Sainfoin sanicle, ribbed melilot
Ragged robin and forget-me-not
Hill flowers, meadow flowers, moor flowers too
Fairy filled with nectar and goblin's dew
