Juicy Green


This week, the theme at Mama Says Om is "juicy".

New ferns in the woodland,
green leaves of the ash tree,
sap flowing through her veins
to nourish her crown in Spring,
plump catkins whirling themselves
away
and falling to earth in a
madcap dance of germination,
white trilliums blooming
in a far and hidden place.
