Mystical Thistles
Twist their silver
Bristles.
Sycamore keys
Kiss in seed
Filled mists.
Fairies in gilded rickshaws
Ride at a lick on
Chamomile lawns:
Admired by
Nymphs
Tooting silver
Horns.
Victorian town Parks such as this one near the stunning Embankment in Bedford, Β offer beautiful borders along pathways Β to explore, abundant with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Β I enjoyed a lazy summer afternoon here with a friend after a leisurely lunch. I expect these thistles will appear in my design work soon! Β π
Love your “… seed-filled mists… ” π
Thanks Anni. π
Welcome. Ann
I’m carried away by your poem and image! Lovely scenes of the embankment too!
Thank you Cybele. The Embankment is always picturesque, with a continental feel. I love watching the rowing boats going past. Next year Bedford has a River festival, which apparently is spectacular.
I hope you have a lovely day. π
