Comment from Wendy G
The juniper is very resilient, and very deep rooted. Perhaps a parallel for us regarding life itself. Cleverly written, invites the reader to think. Beautiful presentation. Very best wishes for your entry in the contest.

The old juniper tree is just proving that to survive to old age we need to be flexible to weather life's storms. You've provided us with a thoughtful and enjoyable presentation.

This is an excellent poem and entry for the 2-4-6-8 poem contest
with very good imagery of the wind and the old tree.
Some trees survive in the harshest conditions,
like some people.
Well done.
Best wishes.

Comment from Anne Johnston
"wind-whipped
relentlessly
its branches tossed awry
age-old juniper withstands all"
Your well-chosen words accurately describe the picture of the tree standing alone, strong through all the storms.

A juniper tree, though windswept in the storm, stands tall and survives the onslaught - a metaphor, perhaps, for those storms we all encounter on our life journey.

Your vivid use of words captures clearly the feel and scene of the desert. "Age old juniper withstands all" shows the strength of this tree and the forces it withstands, Excellent use of words to capture an image of nature.
