forest

trilling of a Jay
    trickles through forest's shelter
         trees gently whisper~
           tales of tough survival 
              time sleeps below leprous barks.

Good focus here Valsa i note the bright Colour and sounds, yet violent sometimes? sudden death also is twined in the wild life around.'

Dear Karen, I couldn't open it because of some technical hitch. May be it will soon get rectified.

Great nature poem, dear Valsa. Subtle way to start each line with a "t". Best for a win.

Dear Valsa, you always have such a graceful touch with nature pieces. I love how you let the forest speak in small, lived-in details and the birdcall, the whispering trees, that sense of old stories tucked under the bark. Such a peaceful, beautifully observed write, my friend. Blessings, Daniel

I enjoy your dedication to the woodland kin. Excellent poetry, I enjoyed the alliteration and the tune. I appreciate your warm words and your concern about my absence.
