Posted on Sun, 26 Jan 2020
I could relate to your words in this poem. It's never a good idea to go back to old haunts because when you see the changes it's like breaking the dream and what you remember looses some of its sparkle.

Hi onemorething,
let me just first say I can't believe I missed this poem. You describe so well the abundance of beautiful wildlife that's disappearing before our very eyes.

and grasps of ivies that in concealments
to break free from internal deaths and memorials,

I just love that first stanza and the comfort of making and eating homemade soup. Did you know that potatoes in soup are brilliant for the immune system?
Anyway I found this poem very tasty.
Jenny.
