The air is heavy and sweet
deep in the dense English woods
where bluebells grow
of an April month
carpeting the ground.
How resplendent are the purple bells
lilting, drooping heads 
dangle and gaze
at the forest floor,
- but beware such violet beauty
as to touch, its venom will release!
For these are no ordinary
adornment of the woods.
As in the lush of summer
to the chiming of bells
specters may gather and flurry, 
to claim this fragrant thicket 
as their own!

Thank for stopping by!

And a huge THANK YOU for all your support and time over the last ten years!! Here’s to another ten years – at least!!!
