This used to be a woodland place <br />when I was young long years ago <br />but now there’s very little trace <br />no trees at all. You’d never know <br /> <br /> this used to be a woodland place. <br />New bungalows in row on row <br /> their window panes all screened by lace. <br />Replace the trees which were laid low. <br /> <br />This used to be a woodland place <br /> where any upset child could go <br />if they were troubled, in disgrace. <br />An ideal spot for lying low. <br /> <br />This used to be a woodland place <br />but that was many years ago <br />How sad that passing years erase <br /> the secret havens children know. <br /> <br />30-Mar-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paradise-lost-for-m-lady-tara/
