Bluebells In Springtime

Emily Bronte makes her mark
speaking of the sweet bluebell
in its power shows its blossom
one can't help but go and tell

Springtime in the UK brings them out
the bluebell has a lovely scent
which hangs in the air so heavily
from bell-shaped flowers heavenly sent

The bluebell symbolises something great
humility, gratitude, constancy and everlasting love
this was loved by the Victorians so much
to them it was a language never enough

Folklore showed about bluebell woods
fairies there we're told would ring
so the fairies would be gathered
whether believing this what would it bring

In the UK there's over half that's in the world
recently the bluebell voted UK's favourite wildflower
so colourful with a lovely shade of blue
feeding on the moisture receives in the morning hour

( have written this piece about the lovely Bluebell that blooms in spring here in the UK.)

This is a fitting tribute to bluebells, Gordon. I've been in the English countryside many a time (especially in the Lake District) and those flowers never fail to catch the eye; somehow I always expect to hear them tinkle!! ~ Best regards // paul

Hi Gordon....My wife's mother came from Whitehaven. We used to go there quite often. When relatives dwindled my wife and I began staying in lodgings at Keswick, from where we could branch out on daily excursions. The Lakes are always a pleasure to visit. // paul

Thanks Paul, Glad you enjoyed my piece and so glad to meet a fellow lover of the lake district. We never got there last year because of covid and probably this year too, that being the first time we've not got there for a holiday in our nearly 31 years of marriage. Have a blessed weekend, Gordon
