Spring in Cornish Woodland

Field of Trees

I’m away to the wood
she shows off her green;
Horse Chestnut offers fingers gloved in lime,
Beech and Ash flutter a thousand butterflies,
Oak reveals just a glimpse of her gown,
Hawthorn clasps blossom, tight buds of May,
Bluebell opens her arc petal by petal,
her song arising a haze of eyes.
Hawthorn buds soon to open in an arc of May
