Man, this is gorgeous! So full of loveliness! A resounding awwwh could be heard as the poem ended. What wonderful evoking of emotion-what a way to convey such an over-conveyed feeling!
And as usual your perfect flow and rhyme only helped your message through the minds (and hearts!) of your readers. I don't doubt that I'll return to read this poem again just to feel the beauty of it...
How did I miss this, Tate? I just happened to see it listed as a 'related' near someone else's poem, and here we are. Short and succinct as the best poems are, there is an ocean of feeling here, and so well expressed. Your best poetry always seems to emanate from the heart, Tate, it's where you excel.
Awe :) I love this so much. The last two stanzas are my favorite part. I love the comparison of the tree and the roots, absolutely stunning poetry, 100.
