quote:

Silhouetted against the sky
Echoing of the past
Reverberating with the events of time
Still
I stand

I love the personification of the tree, it makes me feel the oneness with All there is.

Very beautiful, dear Alanna.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you for your lovely complements, i have just noticed that all of my poems so far have been about trees, they are just so inspiring,

I Stand Straight and tall I stand Softly swaying in the breeze I witness life The growth of snowdrops Sheltered in my roots Pushing always upwards I witness death A fading doe staggering through the trees Her last breaths against me Becoming part of my being I witness love Two young lovers carved a heart into my body I can feel it now Beating...

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem!

Sorry I didn't quote the whole thing, I wanted it to all fit in the one tree image... see... ? Actually, since you are making nice treey-ey poems, and we have nice trees, I'll let you in on what I like to do:

A reason I like Groupee (used to be InfoPop, changed their name) discussion forums is they ALLOW HTML. With that HTML I use a TABLE tag, and the TD or table-data tag can have a background, the part with background= so I put pictures and then text on top! Yay! yay? Anyway, it then entails finding colors that contrast enough for the text to be readable, yet stay somewheres in the context, like the quote above yellow worked for various reasons - black was the first CONTRAST idea, but a tree to talk in black? So like, dreamy posts I put in a color that suits. Then some I like to center - especially short lines things like yours here. So you see, I'm not just "adding some picture," it has a balance, sympathetic embellishing... well, I am a pianist, and we SO OFTEN accompany the real artist eh? I hope you don't mind my nutty improvisation behind your melody?!?

Oh! If you click the quote icon I believe it'll show you all that I type / code to put pictures behind images.

Love and light being, Teo Do (Re, Mi, Fa...)

Lol i love the "nutty improvisation" as you put it, its beautiful, im honoured that you think my words worthy of your time and effort, and the reindeer smily is sooo cute.
Thank you, i wouldent know the first thing about doing what you do, and if your music is as beautiful as your other work (which i bet it is) then you must be a brilliant pianist, my brother is a pianist as well and i know how hard it can be, sometimes although you go for whoever is performing, the real artist is the accompniest who has to mould their performance to what is needed and whithout which the 'artist' would not be nearly as good.

Thank you again
