Peeping Poplars


London Fields West Side. These two sisters, long, lean, graceful guard the southern fields of the West Side, near the entrance to Shore Road, next to the tower block on Landsdowne Drive. Poplars are popular, they often have friends. There was a distinctive row of poplars at the bottom of my gran's garden, until most of them were felled by the big storm of '87. They sound great, look like tall adolescent girls that have not quite grown into themselves yet.
