The rhyme is perfect. The image is enjoyable. The entire poem is not only a great message, but also an enjoyable joke. Thank you for sharing!

LOL This is certainly a poem that I would say was inspired by the photograph. The words are wise, and they are words not all will be fortunate enough to appreciate, leaving this world before ever reaching a ripe age. I found these words to be most comforting.

Excellent work, my friend. :)

Hello Treishel. Really cool image of the tree. It reminds me of the tree at the Ta Prohm temple, right outside of Seim Reap, Cambodia. It was a magnificent site to see how the tree roots just seemed to kick down the stones and grow right through them.
Anyhow, I enjoyed your verse especially when I could clearly see the tree stump and it sure looks like a foot.
The part though after "ancient age, and you have a tangled root....Time to untangle your roots and put your best foot forward...How about this one? Just an idea, but hey....I liked your verse just as well. Cheers.

Thank you Benjamin. I love Tree roots and trees in general. Sounds like you do too. I'll have other very interesting roots posted from time to time.

This is beautiful, inspirational, motivating and cheering. Your message is clearly delivered even though you wrote only four lines of poetry. That is real gifted-ness. kudos

Good

I guessed you were going to do something with your best foot.It would have been nice if you had rhymed the opening couplet. What about "And life has reached the ancient stage." Of course if rhymes are too smooth they become pretentious. Good luck - Ekim777

Brilliant interpretation on the picture. I can feel the sense of wanting to continue to produce even when it looks like, and sometimes people think that you are done.

Average

Utterly unexceptionable and mildly pleasant, this poem would have garnered more plaudits, one feels, if "age" hadn't been rhymed with itself.

Very impressive! Your poem has accentuated your picture nicely! You definitely have a knack for creativity! I also like that it says a lot without a lot of words! Great job!
