~ Non-Norse poetry by me ~
Ogham GroveAsh of world and Oak of might,
Elder tree and Birch so bright,
Blackthorn with the berries blue,
Alder´s brook and ancient Yew,Weeping Willow, Rowan trees,
Poplar tall and swaying Reeds,Holly, Heather, Hawthorn fair,
Yellow Furze and Silver Fir,
Climbing Ivy, winding Vine,
Apple, Hazel, all are mine.© Michaela Macha

1) Ogham: the old celtic alphabet, consisting of 20 letters. Each letter name is also a word denoting a tree species. Hence, "grove" :-) .
2) This was published in a slightly different version under a former pseudonym of mine in "An Tribhis Mor", a Celtic reconstructionist journal.
