Wow! Like a fantasy/sci-fi experiment gone wrong, all presented within the Acrostic form!

Manitree. This is your creation?

I googled the word and guess what came up?

Your poem!

Did you know you are sharing your FanStory posts with the general public?

If so, great!

If not, you need to "opt out" of that by checking the appropriate box when you post!

Great image as well!

You give new meaning to finding our roots!

    Hello, thank you so much for coming in and reading and expressing yourself so well, and yes, I am all over the internet. Actually, you google my name Lea Tonin, there are pages and pages of stuff. I mean, because I have some books on this. Or a book on the shelf at the moment book, two coming along shortly.Alright, publish on multiple poetry sites as well. That's cool that it did that, though. Manitree is definitely my made up name for a new species, hybrid plant and human. Lol find our roots haha! Thank you for your great review, your time. And your awesome reading, I appreciate it very much. Hope you have a really great holiday with you and yours and an awesome night too!

This is a great acrostic, Lea, forming the word, mutation. I really liked it and you constructed a beautiful poem around the letters in the word. All the best of luck. Ulla xcx

You certainly took a dive off the cliff and let your mind develop a new life of sorts, and your chosen picture matches the words. I'm not very good at deciphering poems, but I believe I got the gist of this one and not only understood but enjoyed it.
Smiles, Carol

    Thanks, Carol. That's so awesome of you to say. I'm really glad you liked it. Truly, i'm always happy with readers like what I write.It encourages me to carry on. I am assuming you're a novel writer, or perhaps a script writer or a songwriter, I can sense from your writing that you certainly have a well spring all the information and words to choose from. Thank you again have an awesome night!

This poem/acrostic does what all good poetry should do and that is fully engage the readers imagination. This brought out fantastical and vivid images fore.

Wow, Lea, that's a truly explosive mutation! Love "the deviant soup" and the unstoppable force of this new creation as it terrorises nature, bursting forth in its new hybrid identity of man and tree - the Manitree. Well done on the acrostic element too. My only suggestion for the last line which doesn't really make sense is: Never doubt this transition of race, the birth of Manitree! Good luck, Lea! Warm wishes, Debbie

    Debbie, I took your suggestion to heart, and I used a variation of the line you gave me, which tends to make things a little bit smoother, so great suggestion on your part. Thank you! So i'm glad that you like this.This is a little bit of a leap, but hey, it's turning out to be fun. Again, I thank you for your wisdom for your time and your great reading.May the force be with you!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I do not believe I have ever seen a poem whose illustrations so perfectly match the words to a tee. Your words create a mental picture clearly articulated and then to see an illustration that makes perfect representation of what is written is in my mind, perfection. Bravo.

    I meant every word I wrote. I am truly amazed at your skill. I guess by now, I should never underestimate the skill of any and all of FanStory's writers.

If evolution is to be believed, eventually we may have Manitrees. I love trees and plants and treat them with respect. Your poem makes me think I like that and it is well written in the Acrostic style.
