I enjoyed reading your fun entry, YM. Great work with the prompt. The picture and your well-chosen words pair nicely. Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of a' tattoo' on the tree. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Best wishes in your online teaching.

Teenage love is more than hugging, rather mystic, personalized, remarkable, captivating and possessive, so they store even each alpha as token of love; well said, well done; thanks for sharing, wish this entry wins the contest; you may gift me any $ MD to help me make a Premier Shield member.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables to celebrate an age-old method of memorializing young love. Tree trunks as venue for art.
Very appealing

That is such an interesting way of looking at it. This is beautifully written and I am sure that this would make many people emotional. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this.

I loved the last line. I don't know if anyone carves their initials on trees anymore. It would be super cool to find a tree with someones initials on it. Making sure memories live on.

Hi there! This is so cute! I have to say, I did my own trunk tattoo when I was a kid... though I was younger than a teenager at the time. It was just barely though... I think I was about 12, maybe 11. I had a tremendous crush on Michael Frade... he's still cute, has all his hair... lol I remember carving our initials in the Elephant Tree. (that's what we called it because all of the branches were the size of elephant limbs.) Ahhhh... what I wouldn't do to have that kind of innocent love again! LOL

I like your picture and words. Trunk tattoo -- perfect description.

My husband has put our initials on trees since we met in 1977. So, I guess it isn't just for teens.

LOL Teenage trunk tattoo! I like that. Names with hearts found on trees everywhere in the park! I wonder how many of those names became spouses in the end; Maybe we could take a poll. Good luck with the contest!

A very well-written 5-7-5 tree hugger poem about the heart and initials carved into a tree trunk that often lasts longer than the relationship but when they ever come across that tree again the memories will be there too.

I loved your poem. There isn't anything more romantic and long-lasting than initials carved in a tree. I did not find any mistakes in your three lines. Good luck with the contest. Shirley
