Prickly Grace

Thistle's touch in morning's light,
Prickly grace, pure delight.
In every thorn, in every bloom,
Nature's beauty, softly loom.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,
Nature's whispers, gently led.
Soft and bright in dawn's beam,
Thistle's charm, softly seen.
In every field, in every place,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Field’s Guard

Thistle's touch in field's embrace,
Nature's guard, pure and grace.
In every thorn, in every fold,
Life's fine touch, softly told.
Through your growth, beauty's shown,
Nature's love, softly grown.
Light and free in morning's glow,
Thistle's charm, gently show.
In every field, in every space,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Prickly Bloom

Thistle's touch in morning's light,
Prickly bloom, pure delight.
In every thorn, in every fold,
Nature's beauty, softly told.
Through your growth, beauty's spread,
Nature's whispers, gently led.
Soft and lush in morning's glow,
Thistle's charm, softly show.
In every field, in every place,
Nature's wonder, nature's grace.

Thistle's Tickles

A thistle so prickly and tall,
Loved to tickle, one and all.
It'd poke and prod, just for fun,
"Gotcha!" it'd say to everyone.
The hikers would laugh, "You're so sly,
With your tickles, oh my!"
With each poke, joy would spread,
In the thistle's prickly bed.

Thistle's Theater

A thistle decided one day,
To put on a grand play.
It cast the bugs, the bees, the breeze,
In a drama beneath the trees.
The audience laughed, clapped with cheer,
At the thistle's theater so dear.
With each act, joy would grow,
In the thistle's prickly show.

Prickly Reverence

Amidst the field where thistles bloom,
Thistle whispers, in meadow's loom.
Spikes that guard in summer's heat,
Thistle's whispers, in field's retreat.
Breezes play in wild's domain,
Thistle poems, in nature's reign.
Amidst the grass and clover's sway,
Thistle whispers, in meadow's play.
Each bloom that sways, a wildflower's tale,
Thistle poems, in field's detail.
In the meadow's embrace, their whispers sway,
Thistle's pride, in wild's array.
