HEDGEWOOD

this hedge i raise against my fellows
and i tend it.
this palisade against my friends
and (where it fails) i mend it.

  1. one is more vulnerable to friends and fellows, hence this priority and precaution.

  2. A faithful friend is a strong defense and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.. (faithful, regardless of how tall those palisades are, or how many times you mend it)

  3. Hello Rob

    I like your tight, economic style of writing very much. Your poems are lean and efficient and they all have something worth while to say.

    "Hedgewood" touches upon important psychological principles - maintaining one's psyche within the maelstrom of humanity around one.

    Greetings
