Thank you Candice for this very lovely rewrite. While it is a little long to fit this week’s request for a two-line poem, using imagery, describing a feeling, I do feel it is worth featuring and will figure out a way to do so. You have a very light hand, using simple wording to create some lovely word pictures. I like the parallel of the tree holding on to the leaves – and someone holding on to you. I am still a little perplexed by your last line – but again, that’s OK. Poetry must be felt, it is not always, understood. Your friend in poetry, Susan
