Gypsy,

A very nice twist on the years of a tree! Your artwork and coloring scheme enhance the overall appeal of this post.

Of course, if the last line was: "and never a bride" -- then it would take on a different meaning. LOL

Mark

P.S. Not quite sure if any tree is an actually 1,000 years old, so 'hundreds' may be more accurate. Regardless, "thousands" emphasizes your thought.

    The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine is the oldest tree in existence, reaching an age of over 5,000 years old. And the redwood trees, can live 2,000 years old.

    I like my satori the way it is.

    Thank you,

    Gypsy

Its a known fact that you can tell the age of a tree.by the rings within.
And, It's a.known fact that you could tell the age of a human being body.
Yes, by the wrinkles of the skin of the body and many other factors.
Himan being wear rings for many different reasons.
From commitment to decoration.

I am betting this ancient tree has numerous tales it could tell if it could talk. I would love to have that conversation with it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. The poem and the presentation are both beautiful.

Beautifully illuminated poem. Well it shows that it is possible to live a life without being married, but I guess that life is not for everyone.
Your display is always stunning and your words left to be interrupted by the reader.
Thank you for sharing.

Haha! Love it! Your excellent haiku captures the imagination with a poignant reminder of the impressive age of that ancient tree which has stood through the centuries, faithful only to itself, in eye-catching splendour. Well done, Gypsy. Debbie

Loved it! That was quite the switch - we think of the tree rings that indicate the age of the tree and then we're suddenly taken into the context of a wedding ring. Cute!

Hi, Gypsy

It's good how you led to the unexpected conclusion. First talking about trees with their ancient rings and then connecting that to brides need to have rings or they want to have rings

This is a good senyru

Here. See what you think about changing and to but no bride

" and no bride"

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

    With haiku, the senryu (word play... aha! Moment) requires a pause to understand the juxtaposition. We don't use punctuation
