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.'
