Purple Rippling Fields  Pic by Artcher Behold the purple rippling fields beneath the cresting sleepy sun. The thistles with their spiny shields are set to make their rivals run. The thistledown like snow well-spun traverse the skies to hug road kerbs. Some flourish there while others shun; to them, the toxic smog disturbs. A noxious weed in some suburbs and hunted down like animals, in others they’re revered as herbs and put on sale in carnivals. It does not matter if you hate the thistle or appreciate.

Never thought about it before but I wonder if this is where Milk Thistle, the old liver tonic, comes from.

Nice poem. As for the thistles - They are annoying when they crop up in my yard or garden. I allow no chemical weed killers so have to pull them out. Ouch! Spiritwoman ^i^

Hi Roxy, Some write to tell a story while others write to impress just like some think the thistle is a weed while others, a flower. Have a good day. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Hi Poet, Hmm, does this mean that you and your young friends have short hair? We have a thorny fruit like that too but the flowers are not as pretty. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past
