Hello. This is a lovely verse for the 5-3-5 Nature prompt. The use of the words 'dapples of sunlight' really enhances this poem and gives it an ethereal quality. Very nice and. I wish you much luck in the contest!

As a painter, I love the light when it flits across a landscape, making it come alive. Your poem is the very mirror of how light can inspire a painting, as it did your poetry. Nicely done.

Ginda,

I will leave it to you to paint a similar scene. My limited talent is composing these short poems. Longer poetry is not in in my bailiwick

I love the imagery you projected in this poem with just a few words. I know where several old Oaks are and love to read under them. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thanks Mike!

As a young teen, in summer, I often sat in the arms of a weeping willow to read a book. Now I am shaded by tall pine trees, but the dappled light still exists.

Thanks for your kind wishes.

Dolly,

I treasure more your review since I know who it is. The vote is an anonymous appreciation and only counts as a number, not a person.

Your 3-5-3 gives us a vivid snapshot of how sunlight finds its way through the branches of an old oak tree. I really like your choice of words in this phrase: "dapples of sunlight."

Methinks the selected photo also complements the few words.
