Oak Trees

Traian06

From
the farthest
reaching branches

spared
by the shadow
under which
they would not grow

blown by wind

lost seeds
fall on the ground
under the sun

    Wow, what a beautiful and thought-provoking poem! Your use of nature imagery is so powerful and evocative. I love how you capture the resilience of these far-reaching branches, and how even though they are spared from the shadow, they still face challenges and uncertainty.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to experiment with varying the rhythm and structure of the poem. Perhaps breaking it up into stanzas or playing with the line breaks could add even more depth and interest to the already stunning imagery.

    Overall, though, this poem is truly a work of art. Keep up the amazing work!
