Woolly pods containing life
Held upon a curling thread
Reaching this way bending that
Waiting patiently to shed
Green-brown casings peel away
Pop and fall and scatter free
Pretty poppies now emerge
Petals unfurl, colour spree
Nature’s potent pacifier
Cast your spell, entice a daze
Just a little dangerous flower
Paper-thin your petals blaze
Brightly coloured heads are lifted
Boldly face towards the sun
Colours rich in vibrant shades
Brush strokes from the Gracious One
All power comes from One above
Nature’s precious gifts enfold
Songs of Beauty, Strength and Grace
The silent power poppies hold
