Do Nurture Nature.
Plants I thought of as weeds, grow unmolested by humanity. I am walking through cow parsley, as the scent of aniseed hangs heavy. Dock leafs the size of spades mingled with nettles as each reach for sunlight. Dandelions complete with giant buttercups, as trees play host to fungus and insects. The sound of a water completes with the dappled evening light for my attention. Both lose out to a pair of frolicking owls. Ox daisies and willow herbs will soon hear the hoots of a brood of owlets. Yes, it’s my dream to escape reality, as I sleep rough…
I like how you took the nature part of the prompt. Nicely done.
Thank you Iain, checking in on nature has always been my thing.
They do say that weeds are just plants growing in the wrong place! You painted a fragrant picture with your words.
Thank you Keith, I do have a soft spot for nature and her plants
i have a soft spot for dandelions. your story reminds me of a poem i wrote a while back.

What a lovely poem. Last week I went on holiday in Northumberland, lots of wild life and I took absolutely no technology,
I appreciate your love of nature. It’s clear by your plant knowledge you spent a lot of time communing with it. Cheers!

What a lovely description of a perfect evening walk. We still have a few places like this with eagle owls breeding nearby every year. Weeds are a human invention.
Many so called weeds in the past have had great benefits to nature and humanity… Last week I went on holiday in Northumberland, lots of wild life and I took absolutely no technology.
Dear Michael,
A feast for the eyes, ears and nose. I’m not sure when it decided these natural plants were weeds. Nicely done.
Shalom,

Many so called weeds have helped nature and humanity survive. Last week I went on holiday in Northumberland, lots of wild life.
Nature is the best of what this world has to offer us. It’s a shame more people don’t take the time to respect and appreciate it.
