While the photo is certainly beautiful, your poem doesn\'t need it. It is so visual, so beautifully written, my imagination went into overdrive!
Thank you Fay, definitely a favorite!

Thanks FAY ~ In my Youth i spent many years Fell Walking in Snowdonia and The English Lake District. I encountered many many BROOKS in my travels ~ some just inches wide ~ at source ~ others only forded with trepidation ! Loved the photo and the first verse ~ BUT ~ The shape and pace and nostalgia of verse 2 ~ made me weep in humble recollection ~ AMEN ! Love you FAY for always taking us a verse further with your elegant Odes ! Yours as ever ~ in appreciation ~ BRIAN

Life\'s journey ... from the innocence and exploration of childhood, through the formational years of adolescence, to the complete indoctrination of adulthood ... and what is lost in the process. Beautifully expressed, and a favorite, Fay!

This is so beautiful faye. Just so uplifting. I love your plain everyday english writing like this (hope you dont mind me calling it that) compared to your metaphor poetry where i stray off the path. But this piece is outstanding - so very good. It will take pride of place at the top of my favourites.

Thank you Fay for a beautiful poem. I had a garden, flowers, and apple trees when living in Montreal.
Now, while we do have seasons, there is not much difference between them. Sometimes I miss the incredible colors of the maple trees in fall.

I love the garden - but it needs continual work to keep it in shape - current work - trimming back ivy. You can\'t beat a good cottage garden , Great write Fay

Lovely writing Faye. And the last line has me giggling, i never would have thought of using diligence to describe the work of mother nature. The more i think about it, especially human nature, that word is tickling me silly. An extremely enjoyable read but slap
me because for all the wrong reasons.

Some of the world\'s greatest engineers, indeed, and I speak as an engineer. A fine tribute to these clever creatures, Fay!

These are fascinating creatures often much aligned and irrationally disliked (strange that we admire lions but dislike spiders - no real rationality) but you\'ve done them proud Fay.
