Calming cowslips,
A remedy of old:
Sip three spoonfuls of flowers
Steeped in a powerful mead.
Time for a bountiful spring we’re told.
Yellow fairy bells in sparkling ruby finery,
Tinkling on a breezy evening
As golden sunshine winks and leaves.

lovely image and composition!! your poem is magical!
Thank you so much! Magic in nature inspires my world. 🙂
me too!
Love the ruby finery. I wonder how cowslip-infused mead would taste. 🙂
I haven’t tried it yet: sweet I would imagine mildly sherbetty? I imagined the taste by gently sniffing the Cowslips. Have you tried buttercup linctus for a sore throat? I’ll try a little infusion with sweet wine and a little honey. Thanks Brenda. 🙂
If it doesn’t come off a pharmacy shelf or out of my herb garden, I tend not to try it. But the idea is very cool. I have a friend who’d an ethnobiologist who harvests and makes her own stuff based on family recipes. Very cool beans.
I agree with you, it’s better to be safe. I like the idea of your friend’s recipes, I would imagine she makes wonderful potions and recipes. 🙂
She made a chai tea for me from bulk-ordered items. It was the best chai ever!
