Comment from Donka Kristeva
Man and nature in One perfect unity and for an eternal purpose. I loved your perspective on the "role" of a tree through whose roots flows life... and its "mission" of giving shelter to mother and Babe. Wonderful, interwoven words, rich with meaning.

Comment from Anntonette
I love how the image of the tree blended in with the piece, no borders, no nothing. Simplicity is key here. Love how the line under the tree matches the color of the words. Creativity is also key here.
Well done! - Anntonette

Comment from Kelly Grim
This is a great take on this contest prompt. Well done! I love how the tree is a literal cradle in both scenarios... very creative! "your off'ring of life gives rest / for mother and Babe." These two lines are the best! Well done! Good luck in the contest!!!!

The tree signifies a place to house the offspring of many to be born or yet to be born in nests nestled in the trees for all to enjoy.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Mystery Writer!
I love your well-crafted poetic offering. I live on a bluff in northern Michigan surrounded by hardwoods. Trees mean so much to me and my family. Your poem reminds me of "The Giving Tree." We surely need to honor and respect all of nature - especially trees...
Best Wishes!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written double 5-7-5 poem. Nature and human are closely connected to each other. Everything in nature we can find in our human lives also. The creator of nature is also the creator of man.

Comment from Earl Corp
Kind of like the Giving Tree. The restrictions the contest placed on the poems 5-7-5 doesnt give you enough time to get started or reach a maximu amount of people with the contest. Good luck in the contest.
