I stand in awe each time I see a thousand flowers bearer tree, Pretty flowers like anemones at tall trunk with hard fruits like stones or bullet balls of the army.

Let's shake our hands then my dear poet friend. This tree is I think the most beautiful one I've ever seen my dear poet friend. Try to find this tree or just a picture and you will see. Thank you so much for your uplifting comment. I was really so impressed with this tree and I was planning to write longer form about I just tried this form but not satisfied yet. Hope I can write another one soon.Thank you so much for reading and your uplifting words. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs

I read about this tree after reading your poem dear Len. What a fascinating tree! The flower buds are so colorful, and the flower itself so delicately framed. Interesting cultural significance. Great write my friend. :)

Pity we have to suffer wars when trees are so beautiful. Blessings

Yes it is so beautiful my dear poet friend Vic because of its height, beautiful flowers and hard fruits like cannon balls all in the trunk. You can see images in google chrome. Cannon ball tree is so impressive, that's the reason I was so inpired to write it but I think I choose the wrong form for it. Anyways, this is for the purpose of loving this tree seeing it for the first time in my borrowed country. Thank you so much for dropping by to read my poem and your wishes/blessings. Hugs
