I thought of a tree

[Neil Barker]

I really like the vivid descriptions, Rajani - especially this line: "dawn percolating through her branches."

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thanks so much, Neil.

[Rea de Miranda]

This comparison between woman and tree is beautiful, Rajani!

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thanks so much, Rea 🙏🙏

[Stephanie M. Vargo]

Lovely.

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thanks so much, Stephanie 🙏

[Greg Carman]

The last stanza is gorgeous. Thank you, Rajani.

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thanks so much for reading, Greg. Glad that last part resonated.

[Kim M Russell]

Beautiful, Rajani, and I love those van Gogh swirls.

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thank you, Kim 🙏🙏

[Marjorie Pezzoli]

No wonder I love painting images of trees - Absolutely beautiful

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thanks so much, Marjorie!

Another very beautiful poem Rajani. I wonder how you can do it. It’s like having perfect pitch. So that I was reminded, how playing bowed instruments require this kind of ear. You bring it to poetry.

[Rajani Radhakrishnan]

Thank you, Brad. That is so kind. Such a beautiful thing to say. Appreciate it very much. Am glad you liked the poem.

[Rosemary Nissen-Wade]

Wonderful; a very satisfying read on many levels.

In these uncertain times, this read like hope.

Loved the promise held in 'the shape of tomorrow'.

One is left wondering what she walked away from?
