Blue Bell Woods - Stephen Harvey



An acrostic poem written after a summer stroll down the Trent and Mersey canal in Staffordshire. This poem is available printed in full colour and framed for £5 inc FREE postage in the UK


Forever I will recall

A summer stroll in Stoke

In Blue Bell Wood beside the cut

Resided little folk

I caught a glimpse so briefly

Each one with wings of gold

Sat upon a buttercup



In sunshine bright and bold

Now many think it’s wishful



But I know that it’s true

Underneath the willow branch

Reveals a world of few

So pause and look around you

Let imagination bloom

Each and every fairy tale

May live next door to you



By Stephen Harvey


Blue Bell Woods is a fictional name for a small wood alongside the Trent and Mersey canal near to Burslem, the historic heart of the pottery industry. A truly magical place that is the ideal place to spot fairies.
