Hi,

This gave me an overwhelming sense of serenity, in the face of these giant redwoods, sadly endangered. I think they were featured in 'Vertigo', do you recall?

Hi marandina,

You do autumn full justice. This is an excellent and vibrant poem. I don't think it can be made any more attractive than it so surely is!!!
