Comment from Sharon Haiste

Excellent

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry contest.
Your verse telling of the strength of trees is well matched to the artwork.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

Sharon, thank you so much!

Comment from Therese Caron

Excellent

You've done an amazing job with both the words and the photo. I feel as though we are probably talking about a person who is very strong underneath, although that is the part of the person that we do not see. Since this is a contest, I wanted to let you know that your last line only has four syllables, not five, unless I am reading it wrong. You could add can or will in front of guarantee. I would hate to see such a good entry Disqualified due to one syllable.
