A beautiful write Hazel. Turbulent & torrid early years, nicely crafted into a smooth flowing poem, with each verse significant unto itself. Great rhyme & rhythm too. Enjoyed the read.

So the Lime tree was a symbol... a benevolent presence.. a reminder of the inalienable bond between man and Nature, a shady abode extending soothing comfort for the turbulent, overheated nerves of a teenager! As ever, a fantastic write, Hazel
Beautiful poem, the image of the lime tree combined with life of youth is so lovely. An excellent write.
