Monk, or ?- What do you see # 317- 1st December 2025

Posted on

1-This image shows a tree trunk, twisted and barren, under the night sky, lit by stars.

2-This image shows two birds standing in the water of the ocean, at a beach. The sky overhead is cloudy and lit golden by the rays of the sun, which are reflected in the water too. Waves are coming in towards the beach.

Stars watch in silence
a lonely, barren tree
like a meditating monk
enjoying his solitude
or
a lover
sighing over his loneliness

The ocean waves
They are swiftly approaching to frighten us
Never mind
As long as our wings have strength
We will fly away
And the waves will just watch

Scary Tree – Reena’s Xploration Challenge# 362

Monovisions Photography Awards 2024: “Scary tree” by Bartłomiej Machul

Who is responsible?
The creator or the creation?
What you sow, you reap.
As the seed is, so is the tree;
As the gardener is, so is the garden.

Sunset or Sunrise- What do you see #209 – October 23,2023

Posted on
Sun watches silently 
at the 
clouds changing shapes wondrously
deep-rooted tree
standing upright
as if meditating deeply
fog perplexed
it's sunset or sunrise
whether to camp out
or 
decamp gracefully

-------------------------------


The lone tree
Stands upright with pride
Deep rooted
Seeds with unlimited potential
With the attitude
You can't wipe me out 
Try as you might
Sun
Sky
Earth
Wind
On my side
Hovering
Black clouds 
Hint of storm?
Who cares 
Weathered many storms

WISE  TRADITIONS – Crimson’s Creative Challenge #52

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #52

WISE  TRADITIONS

Radha is going to get married today but as per the village tradition; she has to marry a mango tree first.

She ties a red sacred thread to the tree trunk, embraces it, puts her cheek on it, and then proceeded to marry her real husband.

To fight the menace of  dowry system,  villagers of  Dharhara  has made it a tradition to plant ten mango trees with the birth of each girl child so by the time they grow up,  revenue from its fruits are enough for their dowry and wedding expenses and the mango tree acts as the real guardian of the girls.

#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 87 – Spring & New Life

Image

(Didn’t want to sound depressing but while searching Google for tree images, this tree captured my attention and words poured out.)

Arrival of spring
Hasn’t yet knocked on my door
Awaiting new life
Or will I remain like this
Barren throughout my life 
Thru Violet's Lentz

My view, tho' somewhat askew...
