Phrase prompt "Bear Moon {oak tree}".
4th in a themed series of The Druid tree zodiac...
The Druid religion was based mainly upon an
awareness of natural and supernatural energies.
These energies were identified with spirits
or dryads who dwelt within the ancient trees.
The Druids believed that the human race
originally descended from trees,
each tree being endowed with its own
particular mystical qualities.

"The Oak" by Margaret Walty
There will be nineteen entries allowed per
each contest in this series...enter only writes
that pertain SPECIFICALLY to this theme; after
all, it is about much more than trees.
Don't Give me-violence, spiritual intolerance,
humor, sarcasm or HATE
I am not accepting of cutting, sucicide, or vulgarity;
Sensual and tasteful erotica are always welcome as
well as dark themes (see the Don't list).
*****Also, I did want to mention******
In hosting, I've found it bothers me to see
a poem entered in simultaneous contests.
If you feel the need to expose your writing
in such a way; Best of luck to you...
But be aware it will probably hurt your
chances of recognition within my competitions.
Keep words interesting & expressive
Vocabulary use is most appreciated
metaphor and personification are personal fav's
I also appreciate expressive use of forms.
Be sure to label appropriately.
No line limit...but please,
no novels & no LESS than 8 lines;
I will ask for Haiku, etc if I want it.
All expected rules apply-Don't make me DQ!
I hate doing it!!!
Thanks in advance for your talents & time~~~Blue
