A Forest Child

tree seen in forest is one of many thousands showing its branches now to me, a forest child: one needing Christ's redemption ------------------------------------------ The reason I like this tanka is because of the pause for thought encouraged by the phrase "a forest child", making the reader wonder who on earth this child was and what had happened to make her feel that she needed Christ's redemption above all. 3/16/2015 Contest - Honorable Mentions worth mentioning Sponsor - Richard Lamoureux 3rd place win --- Contest - TANKA 2 Sponsor - Andrea Dietrich Honorable Mention --- Featured poem of the week commencing 11/8/20.
