Greetings! Is it too late to say, "Welcome to the Western World, where our culture is new, but so are you?"
Liked your blend of nature and philosophy, I hold trees sacred to our survival and have planted many, fruit and shade, where I live in Wyoming, USA.
I am just an amateur, not published or acclaimed, a mixture of Irish, French(Hence my musical and literary talent) and German(The only brains I possess) and just kind of wing it writing, as you will see if you read my latest.
Like your style!

I like this poem you've entered in the Take a Walk Poetry contest.
You speak to the old tree as an old friend.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

What a beautiful poem, I think the first line of the last stanza should read " your leaves shine, though distressed" not (through) as this would explain the shivering of the next line, your words describe your photo excellently, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from Susan X Smith
This poem describes a picture taken personally, and as such, it well meets the contest requirements. Your words are well chosen, and the rhyme scheme, although somewhat uneven, works well within the poem.

I like your observation in your poem about the tree giving you gold... the sun is shining through the leaves for a special moment of brightness, bravely in the face of the coming winter. The introduction of the 'chipmunk crew' adds some extra life to the scene.
However, the tree itself in the photo does not seem to be anything special - it is like the others in the photo and does not seem particularly old to justify being called a 'good old tree' and attract all your attention.

The tree might not be special :) but it's special for me because it inspired me to write this poem.

Beautiful offering for the take a walk contest! The trees become so majestic as the colors start to change. The critters are busy storing up their winter stash too! Our seasons are amazing in their unique presentations! I love how you captured the sunlight through the leaves! xoxo

Comment from Alex Rosel
This is a lovely picture, capturing a special moment (although it's a pity the building works in the background feature).
The poem is very evocative. I'm sure most people who observe their surrounds will be able to relate to "a good old tree". I like the inclusion of "chipmunk crew" {smiles}.
However, the contrast between the text and the background color doesn't make it easy on my eyes to read. Just saying...

Congratulations on this lovely piece of work. Trees are so majestic in general aren't they? Love how they are home to such a variety of beautiful (and not so beautiful) creatures. Good luck with the competition!

A very nice take a walk poem that your words describe beautifully. I could see it all in my mind including the chipmunks. Your string of rhyming words is neat and adds kind of a build up to each stanza. Great job!'
Good luck in the contest!
