The Tree Comments

A wonderful poem! Appreciated the way you have abstracted different images around the projected monk like tree...beautifully expressed......Top marks!

Keen observation of nature and its beauty is replicated in this wonderful poem of yours. Insightful read ma'am!

For the bees and butterflies they make room Squirrels jump dance From branches to branches Monkeys eat fruits And so birds and squirrels. what a powerful expression. you are one with the nature. tony

..........and a beautiful personification.

such a beautiful poem! the simile of Rishi is to beautiful and contains the message of blessings of nature. And a beautiful imagery that shows a powerful pictorial quality of the poetess.

A beautiful metaphor for the mother earth who is kind to all her children.

So often, trees are overlooked but you redeem everything in this ode to nature. It makes me think even more about trees-and also bees and butterflies. Unforgettable.

hi, bharati! i'm visiting earlier postings of yours knowing i'll encounter your lovely spirit. i comment on this one because it expresses something i've thought of a lot- how much life a tree can sustain- a little eco-system in itself. my mind goes to the desert willow; we have two of them on our property, and they're common here in albuquerque. drought-hearty, they bloom in later spring with flowers beautiful to the eyes and nose and provide sustenance to bees, and hummingbirds, and finches, and ladderback woodpeckers. they're not great shade trees, but they provide so much with little attention from me. -glen

i left an earlier comment. now i shall take this lovely little poem for my/our May showcase. Thanks. and to MyPoemList, if i didn't send already! ! bri :)

What a blessed poem! That is, your writing is so charismatic and positive in celebrating this natural thing for its own sake, but also your sentiments shower us with readers with their sweetness and truth. You show that the tree is not just a wonderful living thing but it is related intimately to the rest of nature. The tree is like a character in its own life, but it is also the setting other creatures' lives.How can anyone ignore trees after reading your poem? Your evocation of trees makes me happy to share the planet with them! !

What a lovely poem, Bharati. I just love the trees. They are so beautiful and majestic. A full 100 for this very cute poem. :)

it's like home minus squirrel...hehehhehehe i like this scene

Blessings put forth by the richness of a tree, nature at its best, nice work Bharati.....

Roots going deep! To help the tree stand every obstacles. Nice work.

Really the tree stands like a monk to give others the blessings.No living thing can sacrifice more than a tree.Hope the whole mankind would one day be such.Nicely written madam.

Lovely write you give the tree a heart that gives so much to nature and like a monk the tree gives it's blessings!

I found two things. First of all the creation is from creator. each one relationship one another. From your poem I think it is a small form of forest. A forest means trees, plants, birds as well as reptile & animals all depends one each other. And finally all of these things Allah has created for human being. so protection is must be there. Otherwise there will be a changes in calamities. Now we are experiencing that one My think is that the intention of this poem is this. Another thing is that the formation of monk in this poem I guess your poem give more importance to monk than tree. Yeah monk must be a solution for those who seek peace He.can advice from his knowledge which he earned in the way of searching the ultimate truth of Allah. And I want to say he too part of a nature. I don't wants to go more because it already too much let this poem make me to think more

The many blessings to be gained from a tree are here beautifully presented!
