Poem

A familiar scene to all who walk this lovely 
Spot, as into view close by the river path 
Comes something which is not 
The usual day-to-day. All who pass her pause, 

Then stop to gaze on Haguthorn's display, 
Beyond any season's best this year 
And many pose a selfy, or compose 
Admiring shots. Two neigbour trees 

Beside the Thames compete, 
In different ways, though one outshines 
The other with its beauty on display. 
A thousand crimson berries deck this finer 

Necklaced tree, which is barren of all leaf
As admirers plainly see, while beside this jewelled 
Haw Is a Holly fully wreathed, yet without her 
Scarlet trophies, save for one or two beneath.

The cameras and the selfies look for one 
Shot in their lense, the one which bears 
Abundant fruit is posted to dear friends. 
It's Hawthorn hedge still keeps to shape

The fields and country lanes, while Holly only
Decks the halls and then comes down again. 
Haw berries heal the weakened  heart 
and gladden hearts with wine.

Haw adorns spring with bridal gown
And sustains the winter singing thrush
Though holly seems the finer crown
It's thrown by end of Christmas rush.

When all season's fuss is come and gone
Haw's bearing of abundant fruit 
Gains true 'welcome!', and 'Well done!'
