Good poem
The middle line is my fav
but the last line changes the tense and doesn't flow with the rest of the poem. I can't think of a better line that's five syllables, so if you expand the poem and flesh out the idea more that would be cool.

Welcome to Fanstory.

    Appreciate your comments on how to improve this. A new line.
    The sky exists, find light. I am totally new at this. Have many poems already written.

Ciao mystery poet,

Yes trees especially those that form a forest or woods have a huge underground network of roots and when a tree is sick the others try to help it offering nutrients.

Our ancestors lived in trees that s why when we take a walk in the woods we feel a strong connection.

It's like going back home.

PS I enjoyed reading your poem but unfortunately the syllable count is wrong in the second and last line.


You have 5-8-7 instead it should be 5-7-5

Best of luck!

    I will learn, your comments tell me how to improve. Now understand syllables verses some words. Understanding the difference is obviously important. Thanks

Congrats on your first post! What a beautifully written and uplifting poem! I like how you used the contest prompt. You've shown a beautiful image of trees and how they grow. But reading into it, I don't think you are talking about trees. We should all "find sunlight" and "branch out". So creatively written and again so uplifting! Great job.

    Thanks, you truly understand the underlying message. We are all trees in reality. One with Mother Nature. The earth is your mother. Live with her.

Welcome to FanStory, and congratulations on your first post! You have interesting details in your poem. A 5-7-5 counts the number of syllables in each line, but not necessarily the number of words. You can edit your post. There's so much to learn on this site, but people are happy to help out. Blessings. Carol
