I take pleasure

I take pleasure

In little things

With a big personality

There is beauty

In wild flowers

They look good

In a jam jar

On the windowsill

In the kitchen.

To a child

A dandelion clock

Is a thing

Of wonder

There is

Strength of character

In the slowworm

They even find a home

In Ireland

Where, if found

By St Paddy

Or the Guarda

They would be

Exposed

And cast out

For the serpents that they are.
