Another good one.
You have quite the eye for 'seeing' what is not there. Or isn't it?
And you then turn the picture into a lovely, descriptive verse.
Thank you for sharing another good one with us.

I really like your creation here, and the form definitely fits the topic. Your imagination brings this creature to life and we can feel it's presence now "petrified" in those woods. Excellent variety of meter and rhyme. Rod

I love these poems and photos you write and take, Tom. I can see what you see so clearly. But, looking at the other tree stump, I can see a grinning, bulging eyed predator. I wonder if he is what your warrior was about to slaughter? Such a wonderful poem, with superb rhyme and meter, my friend. (Nice to see you again.) xx Sandra x

    Thank you Sandra. Good to hear from you too. Your imagination is even sharper than mine. Now I see it too! Yes a big grin and bulging eye, with square forehead and green,mossy, pointed beard. I'm smiling.

    I'm glad you could see it too, Tom. It's lovely when you can 'see' things in trees and clouds. You have the added talent of writing a poem to go with your photos, too. :) xx

Thank you for sharing the inspiration for your poem and your photograph. Based on your description, I could see the warrior frozen in the tree. I enjoyed your very own, ten-line stanza form, with its rhymes and "eerie" conclusion. Big cheers- Joan

I am always amazed at how you find in nature something that you can write about. It also amazes me that you once again have come up with a different format for the poem. Patricia

The form lends itself rather well to questions in the shorter line. It is as if you have been pulled up short by the experience and questions pour out as you reflect on what you have seen - then the couplet describes a resulting action. I had a sense that there was something not quite right about the first decatain, and then I realized that there was! You have inadvertently left out the fourth line!
It's an interesting format and I've made a note of it. Perhaps I shall give it a go!

    oh my gosh, you are right! It was actually the third line, which I've now added. Thanks Tony.

Hi TRIESCHEL,
this was a great poem about the image you see in the tree. I too can see what you see. It is strange how these things occur but fascinating that some of us can see the same thing.
I love the content and the flow of it. I have never seen this form before so thank you for the notes.
Brenda.x

A very well-written Duodecatain poem about the petrified warrior in the tree. The same scene in the moonlight will be very scary to stumble on. A great picture of the petrified man.
