Excellent Poem! The poem flows and connects well. The first two lines are strong and clear. The last line says it all.
The artwork is perfect and compliments the theme of this poem.

Well done. This is an impressive haiku. The extended metaphor of the tree is deeply resonant: 'flexible limbs' suggest accommodation and sensitivity whilst the 'deep' grounding suggests wisdom and reliability. You certainly use this natural image highly effectively to comment upon the human condition. Well done again.

wow Gypsy Congratulation on a well deserved win. ( I'm sorry I missed this post but have just found it tonight and what a great statement for a 5-7-5 ) this is great and says such a lot in you 3 lines. People flexibility is vital for a harmonous society But sometimes too late if the roots are too imbedded, So nurture the young roots and keep them flexible while establishing their place in the ground. Good work Cheers Christineð???

Wonderful job with your 5-7-5 contest entry. I like the idea of being like a tree, we have rich periods and barren periods in life but if our roots are grounded we will flourish again. Well done on winning the contest.
Bless you
John

I think this 5-7-5 poem about a tree has a very philosophical innuendo. I like that! Deeply grounded to stand the storms of the seasons, flexible to adapt...just life life.

Excellent job in the penning of this 5-7-5 contest entry. Few words can say a lot, and that is exactly what you have done in the penning of this poem. Beautiful artwork and great presentation. I have read all of the entries, but this is the winner in my eyes. You have my vote. Blessings...................Portia

If that does not equal a tree hugger what does? Well written poem depicting this theme very nicely indeed. Should also be a good contest entry.

I guess we all should be like a tree; your little poem is well worded and thought provoking, the picture a fitting compliment. Best of luck in the contest. Evi
