This is a very nice and very well written 3 Line poem you have penned for the contest. This is a very good nature poem that is so true. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

A great little poem. The drawing you used is so perfect as are your words that points out there is so much more to the tree than you see or realize. Good job.

I like your words for this contest. Great picture. Just as the trees seem stand bare in winter, they are still growing. So we must constantly move forward in our lives.

How wonderful, a great perspective on how a tree and man are constantly changing. They both are always growing, shedding thier outer layer and starting again. A terrific contest entry, best of luck.

A thought-provoking reflection here on life and Nature, though - the poetic format is a mere three lines - lovely pic to illustrate and thanks for sharing

The seasons change and we must adapt to that change.
If we take a leaf from the animal's book of moving on, we too can change easily - just like the birds flying south for the winter.

    We are in high summer and the birds fly north to the warmth of jungles. K xx

    it is quite interesting to read about your continent with it being 70% arid and your tropical area is to the north. Still you do have four rather distinct seasons. That is quite something.

    Yes, but the seasons are unstable. At present the Army have come to help with the floods - weather changes all over the world. K xx

Your art choice and well-chosen words paired well, JLR.
I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Your descriptive
words didn't even need a picture, though it enhanced
your poem. Great job with the syllable count per line.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

The trees, like the birds and the bees accept change easily, whereas man complaints and stubbornly wants to change something that is impossible to change. The trees have amazing resilience, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

The oak is a symbol of strength but also subject to the challenges of winter and all the changing seasons. The poem fulfils the conditions of the competition. I think you need an apostrophe in 'Winter's'
