Trees are poems the earth writes
Upon the sky in line Calligraphy
Dancing together in the moment
Can you read the worship?
Supplication Raised
Branches honoring
Great creator
Vagabonds fed
Shelter offered
Roots tunnelling
Protecting Orthodoxy

Just lovely! Congratulations on your HM!

I really loved this poem as a description of and tribute to the tree. The sense of the spiritual and the religious services of shelter and food within the imagery were wonderful. As regards the contest however, I felt it wasn't specific enough about its place in the City. A beautiful write however.

How original!
A shape poem in modern verse with abstract thoughts intertwined with concrete imagery. The fact it is a shape poem on its subject reinforces the significance of the title as well; calligraphy indeed! Freshness of approach and phrasing are hallmarks.

Deep poem dude, I really like your style. Very abstract but very passionate... and beautifully penned. I love the picture you paint, for just a second, you kinda just forget all the superficial crap that troubles us in this world, and get caught up for a moment in the reality that this poem paints. Great write, loved it!

How beautifully and artfully done...your connection to the forest is sdtrong and valiant, my friend.

Beautiful word choice. "Calligraphy" was a great title for this piece.
The spacing was most interesting, to make it look quite like a tree trunk.
Thanks for entering my contest!

This is a beautiful, wonderful tree poem in shape, words and such deep emotion. Well done, imaginative giant. I salute you. Joy -
Wonderful poem!
I love it! Great word choice. I love how the message is clear (and wonderful) once you think about it--but you do have to think and read between the lines of this wonderful poem. I also like how you worked a sort of a metaphor into your words...good job! Good luck in the contest! ((I entered too...my poems's "Hoping".))
Great job!
