Hidden hope grows silently in darkness16 total reviews

hello
This is a wonder. It is full of life and life's potential. This for me personally is a happy and thoughtful poem. I like watching nature step forward after winter, and I too take those first wee steps, my mind a spring bud.

Thank you for your reflective review. It has been about 2 different trees that I assumed were done. One had been split through by lightning and another that just sits out there all alone in the weather. I will be passing her soon. I always talk to her. She gives me joy.

It is wonderful how those trees and plants that look dead in the coldness of winter spring to life when the season changes. We had a new tree planted in our yard in the fall and it dies look dead at this point, but I can hardly wait
for the springtime growth.

Thank you for your involved review. I share in your excitement. There is a tree I pass by near my home. I am delighted when it begins to go from dead looking full of life.
Comment from Mastery
Wow! Even though you didn't promote this very much, I am glad I read it, Liz. It is a very well-written poem and I think it should be a big hit with your club. So many strong verbs used throughout, my friend. Like,
"Tangled, knotted, in stark bleakness of ice and snow
Longing for warmth and green
Longing for signs of life."
Brilliant, my friend. Bob

Comment from aryr
Your words Liz seemed to capture the bleakness, the loneliness, the despair of the picture. You presented the fact that there is hope and there is growth, come the spring time. Death does seem to be the impending thought of the winter season but with spring there is a return of life. Well done and very much enjoyed.

Thank you for your ever appreciative review. This actually happened with 2 separate trees. I go by one near my house. I find it a mystery that it keeps going winter after winter. I thrill when I see it.

You are most welcome Liz, it is amazing what trees go through.

Liz,
I enjoyed reading your free verse contribution to that club.
Yes, that hidden hope is introduced in your ending line...
cautiously emerging. Very nice imagery and strong interpretation
of that photo. I can relate to the message your poem holds.

Great descriptions of the 'tangled, knotted,' stark tree that finally emerges from winter with another chance at life. I love the imagery both of your words and the photo. very nice Liz.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job, Liz, with your challenge poem. Your word choices are descriptive. I could see this doing that you wrote even if no image had been included. I like the way the tree stood and didn't give up and was rewarded in the end.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Stephen Allen Crow
Very well written, I enjoyed it a lot. Especially this part:
Yet I stand against all forces
Tearing at me and trying to break me
So many stories
I truly felt that, thank you for sharing. <3

What a great poem. There is deep thought here and as a reader it brought me completely into your thinking. Another chance brings hope. Life depicted through nature. Well done.
