Notes About The Poem

- Wood Anemone -

A small beautiful spring flower
Wood anemone, only seven to twenty centimeters long
An adorable little lady with white dress and yellow hair
A beauty for the eye you can not deny
A star blanket you will enjoy

That it is poisonous we all know
But you should not eat it, just look and smell
Old herbal doctors say it can be used as medicine
Rheumatic pains, toothache, warts, freckles and sunburn

I will pick a big bouquet put them in a vase with water
and not use it on my aching tooth or my freckles

I would employ them, Ms. Sunshine, on my aching tooth (but, I like freckles). Beautifully put in your poem.

Beautiful but poisonous so you will put them in a vase with water and throw them. i smell here that beauty with poison is of no beauty. A philosophical synthesis my lovely friend. Loved always, bl

I looked it up and it is possible that the plant I see sometimes in the spring is that plant..Something not to be played with by all means..Sara

Another lovely poem inspired by nature's gift. You know the negative side of the wood anemone, but instead you prefer to dwell on its beauty! Well done:) hugs // paul

Informative and charming dear, Sunshine Smile! Anemone is a Greek word ( Means flower of the wind) and comes from the word Anemos which means Wind. It has the same roof with Anima, Animal and Animation, just for the history! Thank you for sharing! Hugsxx
