In April Wood Anenomes Stood

April wood anenomes
Latticed branches high above
Gold pink orange swaying
Crows caw bees hum galore 
Distant foxhounds baying

April wood anenomes
Tattooed black line etchings
Charcoal burnings do reek
I sense bluebells waiting
Grass still, under boughs creak

April wood anenomes
Fronded petals caress
Darting the fervid Thrush
Breezes sweet flow coolly
Creation waits; a rush.'
