Autumnal Poetry

I wrote this one autumn about twenty five years ago. I didn't think much of it then. Now it's one of my favourites. Did I miss something in my own writing then, or am I seeing something now just because I have known it for so long?
What do you think, any good?

Degrees of Green

Inside, dull, remote,
Looks outside:
Seeing the brittle trees and crispy grass
And rabbit runs and smoke
But not the wind.

Outside, bare and cold,
Flinching against each gust looks in:
Feeling the flickering fire, the still, warm air
The comfort, time to spare,
But not the loneliness

 Does it have to be one or the other?
You were too young to realize and appreciate it.
Back then you just wrote what you felt... wrote on your instinct.

And today you are wise and mature enough to understand and appreciate and take pride of your expressed feelings at that age, even though it did not make much sense to you back then.

Oh it made sense to me, I just didn't think it was any good!

Otherwise you are definitely right yes. Thanks for stopping by, it's always nice to have you here.

 You mature as fine wine would with time hence the writing gets better with time. I like the words as much as the person who wrote and don't ask " how " I just know that I do.
take care sweetheart

I like green too ~k, but in the title it was meant to convey envy as seen from the two seperate viewpoints. Or does that sound a bit pretentious?
So lovely to see you on my blog as ever. It gives me a lift because I know how happy you are at the moment and that feels good to me.

 I've never been much of a poetry person and don't usually understand them. Seems like they are never about what I think they are about :S But I like this one
