To The Tree Outside My Window At The Old Rooming House Comments

More apparently casual brilliance Mr Reif. There's definitely something in Thomas Wolf's words, but I think it's also true that there are some things you can never leave behind - even when someone has taken the axe to them, as is implied here. This took me back to another world, but it's never really that far away these days. Great poetry.

As Thomas Wolf said - 'You can never go home again' - some things are best remembered. The tree served its purpose at the time, but you have moved on now and it is not necessary for your comfort now. Great perspective, and use of an inanimate object as a true friend and companion. Love it! Linda

A sweet sad lullaby. Top form as ever.

IF EVER THERE WAS A POEM WHICH CONTAINED THE POWER TO MOVE ME IT WILL BE THIS, ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS, TOP DRAW DO NOT QUESTION YOUR ABILLITIES AS A FINE WRITER WHEN POETRY SPEAKS THIS CLEARLY, DO NOT INTERUPT LOVE DUNCAN XXXX

When I was a child there was a tree in my yard that I called The Seven Sisters. It had grown up from a stump, with 7 branches. I think I spent more time there than the birds did, day and night! Thank you, Max, for reminding me!
