The Learning Tree

This piece is designed as a visual poem to have image & poem immediately connected as one, for my entry in the current DUP competition "As nature intended".

nobody capture the nuances of nature like you Jade
btw...that tree definitely speaks

beautiful is your poetry

Ahh Naajir, what a wonderful comment awaited me when I finally returned.  My sincerest thanks for stopping by to soak in this old tree's character via my life-long love & fascination of nature.  And yes, the tree speaks every time.

Wonderful piece of nature-themed poetry, very enjoyable read.

My dear Anon, many thanks for your support of so much of my work, and for sharing the effect this humble piece has upon yourself.     ~~Jadey

I love how you wove your words - in and out - as if they were written on the limbs twisting out and back.  A "Romantic" ode written on a Dali-esque mobious strip.

Oh dear Thomas cat, I adore your use of words as you tumble through the limbs of the old man tree, and it was fun to speak of it with you earlier last evening.  I'm also honored that you gave this piece a place of honor in your RL.

Eloquently written and suggests a child's wide-eyed point of view.  The climb is worth the scraped knees and cut fingers.  And a couple of days can seem a very long time.  Fine work Jade.  See you at the treehouse....

Awww thank you so much, my crowfly friend... I lived in tree houses while I grew up as an irrepressible tomboy. :D  I sure do appreciate your visit to share your thoughts with me!

I used to love climbing trees, I love your vivid description of the ' climb into the rafters ' and the temptation of it,   the picture is a great image for the poem too...

Why thank you so much, my dear... I've missed you!  I'm most grateful for you stopping by to give me your thoughts and your appreciation for my humble effort. ((((hug))))    ~~Jadey

Wow ... love the flow and the visual is perfect. Breathes a soothing nostril breath ... I can feel myself going higher and higher up the tree with each stanza. Tantalizing rhyme sprinkled in. Splendid

Ahh thank you so much, Lil D', for your descriptive comment of how my humble effort has affected you -- very special.    ~~Jade
