Oh wow that's a fine compliment! I find it difficult to make something that's the stand out that the eye gravitates too. Then follow it up with some decent words. It can be tricky. I mean, I've found it tricky. Many times I don't win very many of these things. I think i've won a couple times that's about it so I thought tough crowd! I appreciate your attention, your time and your fine rating to. O, I'm happy to see you here. Once again. Thank you.And I really hope you have an awesome new year!

I liked the follow-up to the first poem. Maybe they should stay away from soft soil? They might take root in the earth! The artwork is fantastic, being an artist myself, I can appreciate the time that went into this.
I wish you well in the minute contest. K xx

I havee to say, you have done all three poems brilliantly. I do hope you continue this idea. I love it. A Humitree, now mated and procreated. Though the ending of this one reads as if they are all killed off. I suppose if Human man is still around we would expect nothing less than his destructive nature. Another great poem. Well done, this fitted into the minute poem contest perfectly. Good luck! :)) Sandra x

I love the concept along with the wonderful artwork but why the word decimation at the end of this minute? What do you mean by decimation? Please clarify this for me so that I too can understand and celebrate the culmination of a new species of manitree.

Hi, Jesse.Sure I'm happy to explain what's happening to them is a fire has been started. It kills the other humitree in the area. Fires the thing they'll fear the most. But Manitree and Girlitree save the last by discover what they could do. Decimation refers to the human tree that didn't make it. But they will, of course, interview an adventure, and I shall write out going forward. So happy that you're here and offering your great comments. You have such insight that I appreciate very much. I'm glad you liked them. That is the best of all. I hope your Christmas is grand and New Year. We'll be grander two!

reply by Jesse James Doty on 26-Dec-2024

Now I understand. Fire is what they fear most. Decimation refers to the trees that didn't make it.
I am very happy to support you and this adventure into a new species of humantrees. Go for it!
Happy New Year!
Jesse

This your invented poetry science fiction, of humans and trees existing on one body is unique and creative. I pray the laboratories don't make it a reality as the world gets loose in the field of absurdity. Thanks for sharing your work. Have a blessed Christmas full of joy and hope.

Sometimes in trauma Comes talent and resources in ways that can be unexpected.

Bravo all the writers that are brave enough to express themselves on paper and put themselves out there as they do
