A Hedgerow Chant

Langton

Knapweed, bindweed, ragwort, yarrow and thistle head

white flower, yellow flower, mauve flower and poppy red

blackthorn, hawthorn, elder, beech, ivy and ash

beer can, beer bottle, paint tin, hub cap and fast food trash

  • Comment from author about the poem: Walking in a local lane I mentally noted the wild flowers in bloom. It seemed to have a rhythm which reminded me of a children\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s rope skipping chant, the poem developed from there. Grab your skipping rope and have a go.
