I think you are an amazing writer. I have read other pieces of yours and each one is just as good. I especially like your chosen pictures to assist the poems. I also like your description of the piece itself. You have a way with words, my friend! Great job!

Comment from rspoet
An excellent poem in a difficult format - the nonogram.
The poem flows like the river if there was no drought and the water carved its way.
Nicely rhymed with good word usage.
Lots of good alliteration. Praise for not overdoing it.
"Guard the river banks" is the perfect line to repeat.
An excellent poem
Well done.

It always amazes me how large the roots system of trees can grow. The root system can damage a house if the tree is too close to the house. Blessings, Patricia

Thank you Patricia. Yes, i have one that gets into my drain system. I need to get RotoRooter out to clear it out every couple years.
Comment from Selina Stambi
Another new poetic form, oh, creative one!
Love the poem about ... Undergrowth that tangle in the breeze.
These specific rhyme schemes you adhere to would give me huge headache.
Clever gentleman you are, Tom. Beautiful pic.

Thank you Sonali. You make me smile.
Comment from ravenblack
Tree roots exposed, fighting erosion- you ever see ponderosa pine in the west, clinging along the cliffs edge, their roots gnarled sculptures? On some trips, I have taken more photos of the roots than of the trees themselves. Your poem captures the precarious balance of both tree and riverbank.

Thank you ravenblack. Yup, been there, done that. I used to live in Colorado. Traveled all over New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona , Texas panhandle. Only been to Salt Lake City, so want to see more Utah.

Those are roots?? My goodness they are big! A really lovely poem, again, Tom with another of your amazing photos! You certainly came up with some brilliant imagery in your words too, making for a wonderful read and glorious presentation. :) Sandra xsx

Comment from risktaker
The photo is awesome, and the word choice effective for your story. Change is consistent. Nothing good in the work place lasts forever. When you least expect it , you will get the pink slip, or be riffed. Only belief in God will give you the strength to stay hopeful and know that you will not remain in devastation. Great job.

Comment from adewpearl
an interesting variant of the octogram
strong rhymes
good choice of refrain line
vivid descriptive detail that complements your photo really well
excellent imagery of these roots as sentinels
to go with the refrain line
