I like this one, Patricia and it is a superb entry into the Haiku contest. That satori line... crooked arm salute... is priceless. Well constructed and interesting. Good luck.

I like how you matched the tree branches, with a crooked arm salute of a soldier, Patricia, it gave meaning to the poem, and made for a well thought-out haiku poem...Good Luck in the contest!
Warmly,
Victoria

There you go, this is a good haiku. I see you learned quickly. I enjoyed this gnarly tree. The salute satori is a good one. Although a soldier salutes, a tree saluting is a surprise and the fact that it is crooked enhances the visual experience. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Patricia,
This is a great mix of artwork and words. The poem seems ekphrastic for it matches so well with the tree in the picture. I like the imaginative extended metaphor.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from BethShelby
Wow! that is an unusual tree. I like that you've compared it to a soldier standing strong with a crooked arm salute. Some trauma this tree endured in nature made it grow in this distorted shape. The horrors of war does things to soldiers sometime to warp them as well, but with God help they may still stand strong.
