This is an amazing poem. So simple.. yet so touching.. gently yet sad and stirring.. I am left with not knowing if im sad for the trees dispair for the rain.. or our own countries need for rain.. Either way its a wonderful poem.. a true favourite by far! ! And as always you use the technique of including speech of what our wonderful gum trees would say in to poem.. as well as being so detailed and expressive... Much loved poem. Mel xx
