The Flowerpot Festival
by Josie Butler
  • The wind in my hair, with a gentle breeze,
  • A gentle breeze, and, oh, I sneeze!
  • For spring’s a-brewing, I beam, I delight,
  • As I have seen a creative sight!
  • Colourful plant pots!
  • Of many different materials and size,
  • With giggles of enjoyment, the sculptures rise.
  • Number 12 has plant pot rabbits.
  • Building them must be a spring-time habit.
  • Number 5 has a plant pot tree,
  • What about the Gruffalo at number 3?
  • I love ye, old Horsell. for your creative team,
  • With a child and adult’s happy gleam;
  • And our community of plant pots,
  • The Horsell flowerpot, thy springtime dream.
