Trees
Soaring
Tall and proud
Swaying in the
Cool gentle breezes
And guarding us from the
Sun, and giving us shade, with
a peaceful place to contemplate.
Green and towering, nature's splendor.
Decorating all the beautiful lands.

For noting form you move to round 2 Rule follower to round 3. Lines to 4. Perfect form, round 5. Nice but not as strong as some of the others. You do not mmove on.

Ive never seen that form of poetry.
(wow. caould i scream novice any louder? lol.)
But I like it, and i love what you've said about trees, all true.
Its nice to read a poem about nothign more then pure beauty and bliss. (instead of death and dispair, a popular one in todays culture)
I think I'll try my hand at etheree.... -
