This is such a beautiful image in words, and the picture sets the poem off perfectly.

I rarely write Haiku, but Bluebell woods are such a unique part of nature they deserve a poetic form dedicated to nature.

You have certainly caught a rich image of it in these words. It is such an amazing sight each time it appears isn't it? and scent. Rich concentration, like your haiku. Rhiannon

When I lived down in Kent as a kid we sometimes went to the woodland to see them. Back then Mum and Nan were allowed to pick a few bulbs for the garden. They would grow but they were never the same. It didn't seem wrong because they were so abundant, but things change. It's so important these gems are protected now.
