I can understand how you could like trees so much. They do add a lot to our ability to live including oxygen that we breathe that comes from their leaves. Good luck with the contest.

When I pray for strength, I ask to be as strong as the mighty oak. Trees are special, so I relate to your poem. Great theme, flows well, your poem is like a soft summer breeze. Good luck in the contest.

This is very good. I like the add touch of the end rhymes for each of the three. And who can really argue with the necessity of a tree and not understand why one would not love them in all their usefulness to humanity.

You love trees, they ever please you, they stand not on their knees, they all stand staunch, as they appear graceful in a breeze; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)

I'm not a fan of 5-7-5 style of poetry, but this one actually impacted on me, not just because I also love trees, but i like the rhyme and the imagery of a tree standing tall (not on it's knees). Simple yet beautiful. Thank you.

I, too, am a lover of trees and grieve when I see one toppled in a storm or cut down because of disease. Indeed, most seem "staunch" and symbolize fortitude--especially in these times. Rod
