This could be a great start to a story. Maybe use it to tell what took place around her? Your poem is well-written, it paints a vivid picture in the reader's mind.

Nature is perfection, the tree is truly a beauty, and the lake is calming and nourishment for the tree. The art work is beautiful. The fact that you created them both, shows everyone God has truly blessed you.

A beautiful write that corresponds with your exquisite artwork.
There's a sense of sadness in the beauty that coincides with the Japanese ideal of wabi sabi which finds beauty in rustic simplicity, aged and incomplete things.
But without the picture the reader cannot know that you're describing the tree.
If you want the poem to be read in its own merits rather than as an ekphrastic write I suggest a reformulation
she stands rooted
beside cool crystal lake -
solitary beauty
Of course the decision is yours.
Good luck in the contest..
Stay safe and blessed

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written haiku about the solitary tree at the water side that is a striking beauty to make the mind acknowledge the excellence of the view. The sight of something like this always triggers the muse.

Your concise ekphrastic poem is well written and appealing. (I say ekphrastic because I wouldn't know what the poem was about without the artwork.) Good use of personification

I have not read one of your haikus before and enjoyed your 5-7-5 format. I could visualize her "beauty" beside the "cool" lake. Best wishes in the contest and thanks for sharing another of your lovely paintings- Joan

Comment from judiverse
Beautiful artwork. Your alliteration with "cool" and "crystal" is excellent. It presents a calm atmosphere. I do think you need to explain who "she" is. We see the picture, but you might include it in your poem to be clear. Excellent last line. You might eliminate "a" as you don't have to have 17 syllables in a Haiku. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Hi Pat!
Your poem goes so well with the artwork! I really like it, as well as the phrase "cool crystal lake." And you bring it all together with the final line "a striking beauty."
Well done!
Susan

Comment from Mary Vigasin
A woman of many talents. I see your name on the very excellent painting.
The tree that stands alone has more beauty than a tree that gets lost in a grove of the same tree.
No doubt that this is what caught your eye with the words you wrote.
Very well done.
Good luck in the contest.
