"You must never say never."
Quote _ Rowan Atkinson
Rowan Atkinson
the hapless Mr. Bean with his facial contortion
visual, physical comedy with witty deadpan delivery
a changeable chameleon- part of great comedian history

The rowan tree sees a light turn from white into grey colours turn
to shades of dust and claws of branches blacken against the sky.
Rowan made from feathers, made from blood keeping me safe.
The rowan tree sees a ghost with heat floating about a sodden
ground as night’s ghastly thoughts die down and give a rise to
the dreadful day. Rowan made from blood keeping me safe.
The rowan tree sees the sun make shimmering shadows as
brightness scalds our eyes and words shrivel on the edge of our
tongues like ash. Rowan made from blood keeping me safe.

Rowan of my heart
With red berries adorning
Your luscious green leaves
I raise my glass filled with wine
To taste your nectar, divine

Roam into my heart to stay
Wisdom comes from thee

Flowering Rowan
Pentagram in your berries
From thy rose, you come

Tough-wood and feather
half in flight;
bent as a dark fork.
The late of the year
spots her with blood berries
crouching against the wind.
The blasted daughter of high North,
a tryst with the harsh sleet,
dark as the night`s splinter.

There stands the rowan tree
Older than mother bird a-nesting in her boughs
Tall she stands, to catch the breeze
That whispers through her locks o’ green
That be crowned by many a berry
Then as she shivers at the gust
Little berries go plunk upon her toes
Covering the floor at her feet
