What we’ve found… (poetry)

What we’ve found

Is they’re intent

To make us all

An experiment

To rewrite humans

And what they mean

To tamper with

And recode a gene

To change the way

We think and feel

While all the time

Trying to conceal

The bigger picture

And what’s to come

Maybe they thought

We all were dumb

And wouldn’t see

That it’s not right

And instead of bowing

They have a fight

Upon their hands

All stained with blood

What they have started

Has become a flood

Of awareness

Rhyme and Reason

More Muscari

Spring is in full swing, slightly held back by this cold snap we are having now, but over the last few weeks the Muscari (Grape hyacinth) has bloomed nicely and started bringing in the bees. I have planted loads more seeds which are all now sprouting so hopefully soon there will be lots of colour in the garden. Some of the seeds are last years poppies, sweet peas and nasturtium I collected and put aside for the following year – and a new pack of bee friendly flowers, so not sure what else will be coming. It’s that exciting time of the growing season!
