Good use of alliteration in,'what watched in woods' and ' stump silently stands' I enjoyed the pun of its bark doesn't bite. I am learning so much about different forms via your notes. Clever combination in this poem.

Very interesting and the picture is amazing. I can see how you got the inspiration to write this piece. I especially liked this verse:
"Little woodland sprite
is watching both day and night
security's tight"

It does look like the tree has eyes. Neat picture. Nature does the most amazing things, doesn't it? I love to make shapes out of things, I still do with the clouds. This is well done and really fun. Rox

hah, cool poem, Mr. 'T'! The first thing I thought of when I looked at your intriguing photograph was that it reminded me of a gigantic chameleon. Those bulging, ever-swiveling eyes have always fascinated me in their design and movements.

Then, for some reason after I read your unique, but wonderful, poem, the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland came to mid. I don't know HOW that thought sneaked in there, LOL...

Nicely done! (As usual...)

Little woodland sprite 'l' and 't' allits
is watching day and night Omit 'both'
security's tight
What watched in the woods, Use 'wood' 'w' allits
from fields of this land, 'f' "
dismissed where it stood, All those s's
stump silently stands,
feet fixed in the sand. 'F' allits
Its bark doesn't bite. 'b' "
Might be surprised,
you'll be in sight
of bulging eyes.
To obey
Nature's way
many say,
when spied
outside,
hide.

Interesting concept. The last 5 lines are a bit too obtuse for me.

Regards:
This spirit of tree
Can't easily flee.
When safety applies,
It closes its eyes.

Excellent!
Three formats to create a well-crafted dedication to woodland wonderment;
Nice alliteration incorporated into a fine personification of the mighty trees.
A pleasure to read.

Loved the poem.. Especially how the poem is beginning with "watching" and ending with, "closes it's eyes". Also, loved how you have framed, "it's bark doesn't bite".
Good job :)
