Beautiful piece !

Judges comment:

A stripped down poem from Melpomene, not riddled with symbolism. The eco friendly poem here, she grieves the loss of the nature feel in her hometown. I love how she finishes the poem that she will celebrate.. the optimist. She's quite the artist recreating her hometown, making it what she wants it to be. I see so many images here, it's really incredible. Melpomene has a way with all of her pieces of poetry that brings out such vivid images, and that's what makes each and every poem for me.
