This is a very interesting contest entry that made me pause after reading and thinking 'What?' Then rereading, caused the same response. I'm not sure I understand this entry. Good luck with the contest.

    Mmm, I was trying to put forth how this man became a three human combination, so i'm saying that the mutant infection is coming down from the rain clouds which became the master of melding species. Creating what I call the manitree. So plows with the poison, followed by the fact that it's masterful at the meld of those species, followed by the new species name I gave it. Hope that makes sense. Thank you again, Barbara. I truly. I'm happy to see you here and for your writing your comments. I always love those kinds of questions. It helps me very much, so thank you again.I hope you have an awesome day!

Is this about man turning into a tree here Lea? This is an inventive and unusual poem and if we turned into trees we would live a lot longer! Did you create this image? It looks a little bit like you, love Dolly x x x

Thanks for your time Dolly.I hope and you you have the best and amazing day

I don't actually know what a manitree is unless it's a portmanteau of man and tree which, by some otherworldly design, has come into being as a result of those dastardly "death cloud mutants." You've got me a bit stumped here, Lea, but you've done it intriguingly with great alliteration and eye-catching visual. Well done and good luck! Debbie. PS Maybe a note at the bottom?

    Yes, I'm going to put a note at the bottom. Sure, that's a great idea.Thank you Debbie! The manitree is a species name? I made up for the mixture of man and treat and yes, the mutant rain comes down and melds species together.Therefore the master of the meld. Produces the manitree. I'll go ahead and add those notes. Great suggestion thank you very! That's again. Thank you for your fine, a review and great rating.I hope you have the best and awesome day!

I don't know if you found the picture first and then came up with the wording or the other way around. I had to read it a couple times cause my brain didn't understand it at first, but then I read it again...very clever. Good luck in the contest.

What a stunning image, Lea.
And then you wrap it up and enhance it with a simple yet slightly funky poem.
Why did I get vibes of x-men crossed witht the force coming through in my brain?
Thanks for sharing and confusing me :-)

Ciao,

the beautiful artwork drew me in. I do believe we have a special connection with trees. Our ancestors dwelled in trees.

When I'm stressed out, I take a walk in my pine forest and I regenerate.

Mankind has forgotten that trees were our first home and our main source of food: leaves, flowers, bark, fruits. (80% )

Today, we exploit this precious resource to our detriment.
Forests produce 28% of the world's oxygen.

We inhale oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, while trees do the opposite.

    Yes, you're absolutely right.And I do feel the same going into the forest. They are the lungs of the earth and only stupid human beings will cut it all down.I guess we're not too bright. And to do the same as you in order to relieve stress, I get one with nature. Thanks for your great review and your comments and your time. I very much appreciate it. Hey, you have an awesome holiday and a great day. Thank you!

I had to read your words a couple of times, each time they became stronger and more thought provoking. A well thought out and crafted piece of work , portraying, mystique and mystery.

Your 5-7-5 poem intriguingly captures a vivid and otherworldly scene. The imagery of "death cloud mutants weep" and "mastery of the weird meld" creates a powerful sense of mystery and fantasy. The final line, "mesh of manitree," adds a fascinating twist, blending elements of nature and transformation.

Thank you for sharing this creative and thought-provoking piece
