I want Full poem of the cherry tree

And the benediction continues

How beautiful and succinct.

This poem is terrific. It displays layers of scenery and we fill in the blanks for creative thinking.

Nature's continuous cycle birth life death in the petals celebration or tears while they fall it's what the reader perceives...this could have been a haiku but as a short poem it says alot, too.

To strengthen this poem it needs to be longer. Sometimes the shortest poems say it all, but in this case the length is not very memorable because of the topic and the formality of the poem. The first 3 lines are cool, but the last line doesnt seem to go with the poem at all.

Four lines capture what we all know to be true about the bittersweet cycle of life and death. I always savor a poem that excels in parsimony. Reading The Cherry Trees by Edward Thomas reminds me to select my words and images with purpose and exactitude.

Nice portrayal of the real life poetically. Cherry, the well known tree that keeps people in high spirits come in to bloom, shed petals on the ground, they get dried under the feet of people and disappears. Whole cycle repeats itself, mostly coinciding with a time when weddings are not taking place. How sad it is! Excellent write. I enjoy reading it.

Message to thr human kind awake awake do.t be funny, we are set course for graveyards

Now...trying to analyse this poem, it is set in a time when there has been so many deaths, probably caused by war....that is why in the second line thomas implies that all those that trod such a path is dead. in the 3rd line he also paints a picture of that road being deserted because the petals strew the grass as if for a wedding (remember, flowers at weddings as regards this, are usually fresh) , in the fourth line he caps it all when he says when there is none to wed....it means that this death road has taken too many a people. generally the poem suggests a time of loss but what intrigues me most is the way he paints the picture, concealing the loss with the image of a shedding cherry tree, and even at that dear friends...have you ever wondered why the cherry tree is SHEDING? ...good write from edward thomas! ! !

A cherry tree is an object representing Nature's Beauty n Bounty, frequently used in literature as a symbol esp in naturalism. The gargantuan cherry orchard of Chekov comes to mind! ! !

very good edward :) i love your poem its excellent. now i want a cherry pie lol

Beautifully desolate.... fills ones mind with visions of beauty and ones stomach with twinges of remorse and pain....lovely lovely lovely

This poem calls to mind A.E.Housman's 'Loveliest of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough', from 'A Shropshire Lad'. If you like Edward Thomas, as I do, read my poem ROADS TO FRANCE. Like Wilfred Owen, he was killed on the Western Front in the First World War.

Pathetic situation of Cheery Tree is effectively said in this brief poem very well!

This imagery reminds of ghost towns 'the old road where all that passed are dead' old fruit trees shedding petals in the wind
