Nicely put "Shivering under the coming blessed
Winds of winter that will give rest
To nature all at once...
Such comforting words are rare when the onset of Winter signals, but really so true and rather calming.
Nice Work! Lovely art!

Thank you so much for your encouragements and amazing review.
Comment from Kathleen S.
I rather enjoyed your poem. It's fun to see where you've gone with it. The reader gets the sense of being there and feeling the oncoming growth and change of the tree's life. I like to hear about the chipmunks as well. :)

Comment from CrystieCookie999
The material and content here is super. I am going to suggest a slightly different version with a few small changes, since English is your second language, and since it is a contest entry.
You are a good old tree
That changed its smile for me
Today you give me gold
Which won my heart, sold
On your majestic view,
Along with your chipmunk crew.
I want to catch my breath
Because I feel impressed
On this terrific quest
Your leaves shine, though distressed,
Shivering under the coming blessed
Winds of winter that will give rest
To nature all at once...
Thanks for posting! Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Melonie Kirchoff
Great imagery but some of the wording lost me. Was "Chip-munk" supposed to be a play on words? Also "your leaves are shine" is a little odd. Over all though, I enjoyed it.

Comment from humpwhistle
I've always felt a reverence for trees. To me, they are the stoic guardians and observers. A huge oak looms over my house. It is more than special to me.
I completely understand how you feel about your majestic tree.
Best of luck, Iza.
Peace, Lee

Being one close to nature and a retired horticulturist, I loved reading your poem. I could easily picture the tree and see the shine on its leaves, showing how healthy it is.
best wishes in the contest.

Love your poem and its picture. Nature brings out the best of the seasons; even if it's a tree. Were you talking about the oak tree that's in the middle? Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
You deliver a beautifully penned contribution to the contest submission pool. The photo is a good one that has lots of potential for poetic expression within the elements it contains. The poem is elegant and soothing in both form and content. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Cindy Warren
I love walking under the trees in the fall. The squirrels and chipmunks rustle the leaves and make themselves easy to find. It's funny if I come too close and they scold. Not looking forward to the snow, tho. Good luck in the contest.
