A Different View 
This is a great hokku for the first day of fall, Ashley. May I transplant it and the photo into our Garden?
Hi Ed, that would be great. Happy gardening! ๐
Hi Ashley, this is great! Thanks so much for adding to the “tree”!

Hi Ashley, I love it! I’m quite fond of the symbolism of the world tree as you might have guessed. This is simple, beautiful and I love it! Thanks again for participating!
Melanie, I just happen to be putting together my next post, about trees, or rather their demise, when Mark’s blog arrived in my inbox! So, I just had to take part. Thank you for your lovely comment ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Sweet poem and beautiful tree. Trees are so amazing!
Thank you for your lovely comment ๐ I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without them ๐โโ๏ธ
brilliant ashley. thought provoking!
Thanks, Gabriel, for your comment ๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
Beautiful verbal image and visual image. The verbal image bids me pause a while to consider and the visual image beckons me closer to touch the moss and rough bark. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ท๐๐
Dear Morag, thank you ๐๐ To me trees are so tactile, love to hug them too ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Yes me too ๐
Amazing ๐คฉ๐๐พ

Wonderful to hear from you, and such a lovely comment too ๐ค๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
Dear Ashley, this is a wonderful and atmospheric photo of an impressive tree. Your poem shows in a few words what amazing wonders we can find on our earth. We just have to open our eyes and look. I love our planet!
Ashley, I wish you all the best! ๐
Rosie from Germany
Rosie, thank you! We should walk slowly on the earth and be amazed! ๐๐๐๐โโ๏ธ

Hermoso poema y hermosa fotografรญa, estimado amigo!
Dear Barbara, thank you, a hug ๐ค๐โโ๏ธ
Wow, Ashley, this must be an Grandfather! And I love, love, love your verse! ๐
Thank you, Lisa, ๐ค but the middle line was not my own. However, the challenge from Melanie was serendipitous. It happened just at the right time without any planning and well, it seems to have worked. The tree was photographed at the Argory, not too far from home. I will add a link if you would like to explore a bit more. Thank you again for your lovely comment. ๐๐โโ๏ธ

Thanks, Ashley! ๐
Yes, the tree of life. It reminds me that a mother’s love is so essential to the children.
The tree looks like having a face…!
HiRO
HiRO, thank you for visiting my blog. I see “faces” in all trees where the bark is especially deeply marked. ๐

A poignant and beautiful poem!
Thank you.

Thank YOU, Joanna, for your lovely comment, as I listen to more Michel Pepe, ๐๐๐ท๐๐โโ๏ธ
Dear Ashley,
I would like to thank you for commenting on my latest post entitled “โ โ โ Snowflakes, Tell Me Why You Areโฆ“, which combines poetry, visual art, animations and science in an innovative way. I have since improved the post even more.
You have done a fine piece of work to satisfy the challenge set by Melanie. I have enjoyed reading your tree-inspired miniature poem. Thank you for your poetic effort.
I shall resonate with your love of trees as follows:
I also love the photo featuring that magnificent tree full of character, and wonder what species of tree it is.
Happy September to you!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle
Thank you for your wonderful response! I shall check in again to your posts. I have to be honest and say that I’m not sure which tree species is in my photo. I should know but the picture was taken a few years ago and I haven’t been in that location since. Happy September to you also. Keep well and safe! Ashley
Dear Ashley,
Thank you for wishing me well and safe. I can feel a great deal of warmth in your palpable affinity with trees and plant lives.
How nice of you to visit and like my post entitled “๐๐ One Day Weโll Fly Away โ๏ธ๐ซโจ“! If you had visited the post in situ and not via the WordPress Reader, you would have witnessed that the post comes with animations, a feature that is rarely seen on other blogs.
Therefore, all of my musical, animated and/or mixed media posts are best viewed in situ on my blog (not via WordPress Reader) on a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen, given that it contains intricate graphical designs, advanced styling and multimedia components plus animations.
Please enjoy flying away with SoundEagle to your heart’s content at “๐๐ One Day Weโll Fly Away โ๏ธ๐ซโจ with the eye-catching animations throughout the post.
I have visited and perused many of your posts, and wonder whether you have written any poem(s) regarding the moon. Being a poet, artist, musician, researcher, writer and a lover of moon myself, I wonder what you will make of my poems and my artistic take on the moon. Therefore, I would like to entertain, inspire and resonate with you through my most animation-intensive post presented to you as a courtesy of my dramatic attempt to bring the Full Moon alive, so to speak, in the form of Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization presented in high definition and imbued with a scintillating full moon surrounded by eye-catching astronomical phenomena and stellar activities!
The post has been recently expanded to contain twelve poetic stanzas constituting my rhyming poem entitled “If My Name Were Moon Tonightโฆ“.
As usual, in order to see all of the animations, please make sure that you view the post on my blog and not via the WordPress Reader. May you enjoy to your heartโs content the mixed-media offering of “If My Name Were Moon Tonightโฆ” and its beautifully rendered Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization on the big high-resolution screen of your desktop or laptop computer. Switch the video playback to full-screen mode. The animation starts calmly and will gradually climax.
There is also the opportunity to savour my own rendition of โClair de Luneโ recorded on the organ.

Happy Autumn!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle
That’s the most humongous tree I have seen this year (in a photo).
Beautiful
Many thanks, Derrick! I must pay it a return visit and give it a hug ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Where is it located?
I might passby and hug it too.๐
