EXCEPTIONALLY ORDINARy

My Taraxacum has done well this year (DANDELION)

without much interjection,

no 'planting on' or 'feeding up'

and her color is my infection.

And interspersed my Bellis-Perennis (DAISY)

an image of snowy down,

with the strength and tenacity of the Oak

should ease the deepest frown.

There on the edge with necks so high

my Cirsium Vulgare beams, (THISTLE

but I ain't done a thing to welcome him in

yet he loves that position it seems.

And dressed as yet in many greens

my Genus Rumex spreads, (DOCK)

it's bitter taste in pleasant haste

with flowers like a spindless bed.

My Ranunculus Acris on the other hand (BUTTERCUP)

the meercat of my garden,

keeps a sunny eye from it's lofty perch

and never seeks my pardon.

And then we come to the ----- (GERANIUM)

Geranium Molle it's Latin name,

should this tenacious plant catch hold

you'll feel you've lost the game-

-Though with a name like Doves foot cranesBill

it comes to the human's aid,

for many years healing the sick

as a medicine, making the grade.

And there we have it, in every garden

the Ordinary survives,

Natura Flora with the heardy heart

it's place in nature contrives........2pp
