    I liked your concept of one leaf leading to a branch, branches leading to a tree but I got stumped at several trees equalling a field. For me it didn't sit right in the flow because I was expecting that if everything was the sum of the many that many trees would have equalled a wood or forest followed by many forests with fields leading to a country etc. I liked the fact that you put in different interpretations but you need to go back in and correct the weird characters because it detracts from the poem. Good start though Milly x
