I am reposting this poem as it now features original music composed by Andrew Close. I love how Andrew has enhanced this poem, showing how blending verse and music can make for the perfect marriage. I hope you enjoy ‘Nothing Beats Trains’ - the encore recording.
All aboard! - Felice

This poem ‘When the Trees Talk to Me’ is extra special as my friend and composer extraordinaire Andrew Close has composed original music for it. And he’s working on a couple more original pieces to go with my poetry. So, stay tuned. And thank you to those who have supported this podcast. Please share far and wide. It’s such a joy to share these with you. Now for… ‘When the Trees Talk To Me’ — Felice
