The most penetrating preachers,
hinting, they teach us.
Revered when stood alone
or their forest home.
Roots resting in infinity,
their own laws accordingly,
standing tall to represent.
When stormy winds relent
Nothing is more exemplary,
In nature growing free,
A beautiful strong tree.
Paraphrased a lot from a passage by Narayan Kaudinya on the Road to Nara blog and shared with dVerse Quadrille #216

You have a style of your own in the poetry community. And that I love so much about your writing and style. I really like this one a lot. 🙂 The way your rhyme is visually stunning.

Cheers Charlie. 🙏
The problem with ‘a style my own’ is finding like minded writers to share with and whose work I really respect and love too. I’m constantly looking though. I recognise that my writing does not fit with the general online poetry community.

I like to visit the city but I’m a country boy in general. Sydney was a great place to live as the suburbs are barely visible for all the trees.

I am surrounded by trees, mountains, waterfalls and lakes in Central Oregon … I related to your quadrille, enjoyed it!!! Charliezero is right, you have a style all your own which most of us try to achieve, difficult to say the least. Thanks for leaving me a comment.
