Senyai,
This is a good poetic description of a forest at night. I like the allusion of tree rings that show age as a metaphor for eternity.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
beautifully penned poem accompanied by an equally beautiful pic. Yes. I have visited Muir Park in SF a couple of years ago and was amazed to see the rings of time! I also happened to read the explanations displayed there but can't recollect any. I have the pictures to take me back to those days! Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest!

Your contest entry reads well. I can see how ee cummings influenced your style here. I love the image. The color scheme is perfect, too. Your words are filled with great descriptions that create great imagery. I can't pick out just one line which I liked best as I would be writing the entire poem here.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Nice nod to e e Cummings. Great selection of the beautiful picture. The vividness of the description made me long for more verses. Look forward to reading your other works.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The sentiment regarding the trees and the growth rings is rather deep and beautifully portrayed. Their silence beneath the stars is well noted.
The tribute to e.e.cummings is a well-received rendering.
His poetry is indeed unique as was he.

That is an absolutely stunning poem to go along with the equally stunning photograph. I loved it. That is so, so beautiful. I think Mr. Cummings would take his hat off to you!
Nothing to fault here. Amazing.

Comment from Wendy G
A beautiful poem filled with rich imagery. Trees "breath silent" is lovely as is "each massive trunk a pall- bearer's gown". Original and creative, and perfectly sets the mood and quiet tone. Very well done.
