Wildflowers of the Burren

   the word barren means rocky land
a perfect name for a vast limestone area
                         in the The Barrens of Ireland
it is a desolate place with few trees
except for the Hawthorne tree that grows 
                        but is
                           twisted and stunted
yet, wildflowers thrive in an array of colors
growing out of crevices in limestone slabs
            of dried up lakes 
                       during the summer months
from the crevices you will find . . .  lovely purple gems
red Cranesbill,  pink Rock Roses, and yellow Mountain Avens
                                           and many, many more
             maidenhair fern and moss love the damp crevice's
and in stony pastures of The barren
          the wildflowers grow and thrive
                             creating a beautiful landscape ...
