Woman, you are sooooooooooooooo pretty!!!
Look at you, seems as if you are part of that tree. Gorgeous crown to a gorgeous lady

You are sooo beautiful my Darling Renee and standing in front of the mauve tree you look like you're about to break out in a dance.
Love you

Like your poem, the color of the tree is rich and full bodied. A wonderfully creative and unique take on nature and the nature of human desire. I love how you married the two. Even without the picture the imagery is outstanding. Good luck in the contest

Glad you are so tall
for ear rings these would not only hurt but weigh one down. I have one of these trees- in fact I planted it myself. You do have good taste in all you do. I will look at this tree from now on and think only of you.
You will be with me forever now Thanks for having seen this picture and your poem...mac

Dear Renee,
dusky beauty
framed with summer mauve
reaches for sky
We have a Japanese maple in our garden which steals the show in Autumn when it turns flame-red and carpets the lawn around it with scarlet. This morning its branches are bare but covered with snow as it stands on a white blanket.
Your mauve tree makes a beautiful background for your morning tai-chi exercises! LOL
Good luck in contest with descriptive haiku. Thnkyou for sharing superb photo.
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)
