This is a very good entry into the tree hugger contest. I like the sentiments of the poem, unfortunately, I am not as flexible as I would like. Great images. Good luck in the contest

Be grounded like a tree but flexible, as well.

I really enjoyed your 5/7/5 poem. Good job on the message and syllable count. The artwork is awesome. I see no changes.

Best wishes in the contest.

Wow! This is the one to beat for this tree huggers 5-7-5 contest you have entered. Brilliantly crafted and spot on. The artwork is dynamic.
God bless and best of luck.

I want to be like a tree planted but the river, with my roots firmly planted so I can grow strong and tall. Blessings, Patricia

Ooh, this is a good one. A very solid Tree hugger 5-7-5 writing promp. It is brief but to the point allowing for the reader to be reflective. My only comment would be the background colour choice. I know you are trying to match the picture attached but perhaps have a play and see what it looks like with a softer brown colour to give it a more earthly feel. Well done and good luck in the competition.

As for improving your work, I can't help you. These short poems are easy to find prompt flaws in, especially the five-seven-fives. I don't see any. And as to making it more nearly a great, classic work, I haven't a clue. Looks like an excellent entry.

Flexible and grounded truth! This piece is visually flowing with life. Great job on the artwork too. You can draw much truth for living from this. Good job

Good rhetoric. For such a short write you present a strong write.
I have a love for trees in poetry...hence, like this.
Good luck.
