The Woodland Gate
Our woodlands have undergone a major transformation since winter retreated. The last few weeks of spring are in our midst and we say goodbye to the colourful display of flowers that have graced the woodland floor. It always amazes me that nature knows just what to do and when.

Summers tap tapping at the woodland gate
Hurry hurry spring flowers
the trees won't wait.
Paled bluebells past their prime
lingering, still fragrantly chime.
Ransoms stars, losing their shine
going to seed its almost time.
Most spring flowers are back to sleep
safe in the woodland bed to keep.
Hurry hurry spring flowers
the trees won’t wait
they're getting ready to fasten and drape
over the woodland
their green summer cape.
