Tender and bittersweet, a nostalgic reminiscence that takes me back to the wildflowers of my own childhood, replaced now in the name of progress!. A lovely poem!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's nice, though I feel the "childhood home" seemed to hit on the point too hard, making the metaphor way too obvious!. Just my opinion!.!.!.I wonder if there is a way to convey the same sentiment without hitting the reader over the head with it!?

And "around the gardens of my childhood home" feels just a bit wordy or clunky for such a short and vivid poem!. Maybe the honeysuckle could grow around the home, or in the garden, but around the gardens!? Hmm!.

"So little now remains" reminds me of WCW's red wheelbarrow poem (So much depends!.!.!.)!. That's not a bad thing, or really a good thing!.!.!.just mentioning it!. :)

I really like the first two lines!. Good job and good luck!
