As a pagan, I really like to connect to nature. I think it's something everyone should do more ^.^ I'd give this poem 20 stars if I could... it's honestly just THAT amazing! This has GOT to be the contest winner!! Best of luck, my friend ^.^

You create such a peaceful mood from the title to the last word. You make me want to find that 'mothering tree' and sit under its protection for a while.
Best of luck in the contest.

This certainly created a sense of reflection and I like that the narrator feels that this place in nature is a sanctuary under that protective tree. Well done ABC poem with an AABBA rhyme scheme! Best wishes in the contest!

Your lyrics here are superb, they flow so beautifully and each lines share a mid-line pattern of rhyme. The prompt called for a poem that creates a mood, picture or feeling. This verse delivers on all three.
A truly delightful image painted by a great collection of great words

I loved reading your poem about sanctuary. It was a beautiful and moving poem. Very well written. Great flow, and rhyming to it. Well done with the writing prompt. I loved the last line especially. It just seemed to touch me, and your poem itself, made me feel safe, and calm. Beautiful poem. The photo was beautiful, and goes very nicely with the poem. Thank you for sharing.

There is a sad tone to this ABC entry: one must flee to the forest to feel protected. However, with the current state of affairs and unbridled shootings, I can see how that may be.

-Very nice artwork and presentation.
-I like the initial letters in bold,
along with effective imagery and rhyme.
-Very good description of the tree
and your feelings about it, along with personification,
with "blanketing leaves."
-A very good concluding line.
-A very good entry; good luck!

Hello Poet,
You've done a marvelous job with this ABC poem
with splendid imagery and an excellent aabba rhyme scheme.
You've also succeeded in creating a picture of freedom
within boughs of nature.
Well done.
Best wishes in the contest.
Robert

This is an excellent ABC form for the contest I wish you the very best for the contest. I like the idea of using the trees and the canopy of protection over you.
