Magnificent cedar
Struck by lightning
Sap bubbling
Survives
Scarred
Changed forever

Brief and perfect. I saw, heard, and felt that bolt impact the tree and immediately smelled the aroma of the bubbling sap. You created a near-real poem to me that nails resilience, survival of a trauma, and transformation. Great job. - Chris

Once again, I am so grateful for your feedback. I am honored that my work has resonated with you and, conversely, sincerely appreciate being seen. What a powerful relationship writer and reader have. Thank you for that insight as well.
