And now in tears looking back at those years how fast that time has gone when you wrote for me your poetry then nine months on and you had gone… I hear your voice read out to me words of love in your poetry those special words from you to me are so much lovelier than any tree… Written 8th February 2020 Reference to: ‘I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree’ by Joyce Kilmer* Contest Name Famous poetic lines 2 Sponsor Silent One 2nd Place Contest Strand Select H Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION
