Above: my sycamore tree.
Does the world need another sycamore poem? Probably not and certainly not if it's much the same as most of the others. Still the coffin idea may be original so I'll stick at it.
William Carlos Williams wrote about a young sycamore. Read it
here. Another American poet on sycamores
here.
Of course the sycamore tree can mean different things in different places, the Irish sycamore is not the same as the American sycamore. More
here and
here. To avoid confusion I'll call my poem
Acer pseudoplatanus. That's the correct name and I like the resonance of the pseudo also.
