Showy corn poppies


The partridge whirs up frit away from her nest 
& the hare with the morning dew yet on her breast 
Jumps away from his hustle & bustle & noise 
Which he makes in the midst of his rapture & joys
Now singing & tearing up weeds of all sorts 
Showy corn poppys shining like foxhunters coats 
& bluecaps & cockleflowers no matter what 
To make a gay garland to stick in his hat 
& now he struts out what a gesture he wears 
As proud of his colours as soldiers of theirs

Poppies from my wildflower meadow
