I can finally share with you my prize-winning poem Arboretum Shapes. (It won first prize in the Nottingham Green Spaces poetry competition) Hope you enjoy the poem and congratulations to the other prizewinners. If you’ve never visited The Arboretum then check it out here. It’s the home to many rare tree specimens and a lovely place for a walk in our UNESCO City of Literature at any time of the year.
