The ending of this poem was personally one of the better ones I've seen in a while. You, M(r)s. Shaw, have a talent for the most effortless weaving of beautiful, unusual words to create such a clear image. I am very fond of this piece and am glad to have read it now.
Fondly,

This piece seems so delicately crafted, yet the underlying/overarching imagery and message are quite powerful. Some of the word choices are interesting, and admittedly a couple of the words I did not even know! That being said, the beauty of this beauty is not lost on me. What great rhythm and tenderly placed rhymes, composing such a worthy homage to love and nature.

As you may have noticed, I love acorns & oaks, plentiful around here! *smile* Love your delightful poem commemorating these little wonders. The acorn sends down a ferocious & deep taproot, so that even the tiniest little sprig is well-anchored & hard to pull out! I planted 3 substantial oak trees in memory of my dad when he died. I love the way your poem shows your fondness for these trees & seeds too! *smile* Fondly, Margie

Yes Margie. Doing my bit for the environment. I adore trees.
The concluding verse, for me, clinches the deal for me. Love does not revel in words and lofty promises but in loving and thoughtful actions such as these. Such as in planting of these Acorn trees. Written with such tenderness of feeling and such an encompassing understanding of love!

Wonderful words and thoughts. I did enjoy Chris.
"Remember my affinity,
my love affair with nature's trees,
for you a future legacy.
I grow these oaks for love of you."
I did like the above lines. I love the sea, lakes and the forest. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

You do suit these autumnal writes Chris, they bring an air of introspection to your words that suit the mood of the air perfectly. A great balance between looking back at what was and looking forward, to what we hope will come again soon.

Thanks Lorry. I think I have autumn done and dusted now. Appreciate your visit.
Oh blissfully beautiful- when we can give with love of ourselves no matter the change that comes- through torrid storms and change of season true love will always prevail- with it beauty abounds🌹

Albert, my paternal grandfather introduced me to Tennyson when I was nine. I have loved poetry ever since but did not attempt writing a single piece until I was 40. It's never too late to try somethin.. more..
