Blooming Baldock

The countryside is now alive in wildflowers as the landscape glows in the warm sunlight.  It's such a pleasure to see.

Flowers so colourful and bright,
In their glory in the sun's light,
At home amid the summer's heat,
Giving out a perfume so sweet,
The summer flowers seem perfect,
In near enough every aspect,
So effortlessly they distract,
As one's attention they attract,
Countless different kinds carve their mark,
Throughout every meadow and park,
There for us to enjoy and pick,
While we waste our days and frolic,
As gifts more poetic than speech,
When lovers and their loves meet,
One of nature's finer artworks,
Saving scenes from seeming bleak.
