things are simple again

no leaves on the trees
to fill the hedges
no high verges to hem me in.

only the frosty ploughed fields
and the sun's cold crisp light

The question in the title suggests that this has been posted before and editted. If that's the case it would be good to add a link to the original post so that people can answer your question. With so much work flowing through this forum people are not necessarily going to just remember the original unless it's a truly memorable poem.

I like the final stanza, but the 2nd felt strangely unnatural - I am not sure why...I think it might be because of the last line of the stanza...I did like the first simple line though.

Thanks for the info Baron (The warmth of complexity ). Thanks Eiji Tunsinagi. Do you think the above works any better?

Best,

I think that you need to look at line breaks.

This is just an idea.
