An amazing write- - How the casuarina tree becomes the symbol of a loved one, bringing memories of beloved land and people! Let me quote from this lovely poem- - LIKE a huge Python, winding round and round The rugged trunk, indented deep with scars, Up to its very summit near the stars, A creeper climbs, in whose embraces bound No other tree could live. But gallantly The giant wears the scarf, and flowers are hung

An excellent poem from a girl who had died so young. I could glimpse her nostalgia stemming from her recollections. Thanks P H for selecting this poem as the poem of the day and introducing to many of us such to her writings.
