Comment from Fei Ma
A wonderful poem! A lot of rhymes and alliterations. A lot of truth too to the life we humans have. When someone praises a tree trunk, this person has learned the nature of things and is profound, in my view. Very creative and full of human spirits.

Beautiful! I love the imagery and connection between nature and faith. I also believe that nature and the understanding of our existence is art. Really enjoyed reading this.

I like the picture you have chosen, and your poem is well-written. You have expressed how you seek inspiration in everything around you and want to share that in your poetry.

Your poem celebrates that classic romanticism of nature as the temple of God. Nice echoing rhyme effects and alliteration, nice rhythm to it, I liked the down to Earth language spoken almost off the cuff. Very approachable. estory

Comment from Wendy G
I enjoy the recurrence of the tree theme, which ties your work together, and represents something solid and lasting, perhaps beyond the normal span of life. The first stanza is powerful and thought-provoking as is the second last. Imaginative and thoughtful, and creatively expressed. Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
I love this one Mike. To me it's about the wonder of Nature, of what is around us and what we do and take in with that. Are we inspired by it, a definite yes from me. Great work and I'm sorry not to have a 6 left.
Cheers

Thanks so much, Valda :-). I think there is much to worship in nature, and art is our way of expressing that. I'm so glad you liked it.

I love when I can read a poem again and again and see even more. There is lots of depth and I like the tree visualizations, like you are planting your legacy as a strong oak.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
I enjoyed reading your poem about an artist's faith. I agree with you, we can find spirituality in art... the act of creation. I don't practice religion, I practice love and kindness through Buddhism, some Christianity, native American faith folklore, wicca, etc.... I like your relation between art and faith. Great entry for the contest. Wonderful imagery and presentation.
in your own unique style. You have a way with words that is captivating. Your writing flows naturally and it's easy to follow.
Well done. (*-*)

Thank you, Gypsy :-). I think organised religion risks missing the point and so it's not for me. As you say, better to live by the precepts than the rules. My hope was to write something true to me but non-exclusive. I'm really glad you liked it.
