wow this is such a good poem
i loved it
it was sad and touching
great job

thanks guys for your wonderful comments about this poem. I'm glad all seemed to enjoy it. Too bad they had to cut down all those 100 year old oaks...

Great poem - I can so identify with your feelings. I have a woods and marsh near me, and year after year, I watch as contractors encroach and rip away every vestige of greenery they can find.

This is a wonderful poem. I remember alot of the trees and fields we use to play in when we were kids are long gone now. So sad. This was a beautifuly written piece. Excellent!

This was a sad, but very wonderfully written, touching poem. You are an excellent writer, and thanks dearly for the comment on mine. It means alot.

Once again, touching and great poem.
I hope I could write this good someday. :]

Thank you so much for recomending this poem to me! I loved it. I felt emotion throughout reading it, and the ending was so powerful, my goodness it was a good poem. I think that not matter who you are, after reading this poem you will find a way to conect to it. Well done!

Heya Tom, i really enjoyed read this peom and i'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Third stanza, last line, what's with the two question marks? Might want to edit that.

Sixth to last stanza, first line, you have one extra space before the period.

Beside those two corrections I have but one more. I felt you used too many comas. In some areas there should have been a period completing a thought rather than a coma making a run on sentence. Other than that, perfect.

This was a great poem. I loved the words you used and the description was just beautiful. It started out slow and the power increased and poem became violent and then the end was the calm of the storm...Just peaceful as if it never happened. The only trace being the memory.

Five.

I'm not sure where the question marks came from but they are gone as is the last ray of this days setting sun... couldn't resist. Thanks for your comments and the critique.
