Ciao mystery poet, you now have 4 votes!

The tree is stunning and I can see why you are in love with it.

When I still lived near the lakeside we had three huge beech trees.

I loved to hug the trunks but you had to be in two to embrace each trunk entirely.

The leaves are dark green in Summer and golden -brown in Autumn. 🍂

We had squirrels that buried the chestnuts we offered at the foot of the trees.

I enjoyed your lively description

    When I was 18 we sold the property .. it took me two years to have the courage to pass and what I saw caused me much sadness and rage.

    All three had been cut down despite they were protected by law.

    I cried my heart out .. I thought they were safe , protected. I never imagined they could be removed.

    The new owners I presume paid a fine for having cut them down..

    A crime had been committed in my eyes.

    Those three beeches gave character to the villa and provide shade.

    I loved them

    I raked the leaves together every year and then the owner of a tree and plant farmer nearby would take them away gratis.

Your poem feels like a warm embrace. I could see the fiery autumn leaves and the playful squirrels dancing through the branches. I especially love how you describe the tree's resilience through the seasons. Standing firm with "iron will." A delightful read!
