I've always thought that Ivy is such a beautiful plant, the way it winds round trees and up fences and the front of houses...it gives such an elegant charm to a place.

This was such a lovely little write, loved the creativity at the beginning with "emerald life veins".

Really nice as always Andrea

This is amazing, Andrea! It's so whimsical and free-flowing. Everything from the structure to the wordplay makes me feel so youthful and carefree. The imagery is running wild in the best possible way, very fresh and vivid! Beautiful write :)

A perfect fit in your catalogue of high quality poems. An amazing read and it made me look out the window and stare at the trees in my backyard for a while, just enjoying the nature. Fantastic job :)

Maple, if this poem did not have your name on it, we would all be able to identify it as yours.

Although I like your wording here in this poem and the creativeness, what stood out to me more was the freedom within the lines it was like when you wrote this poem you took yourself to that place and in your mind you were there. This place makes you feel like you are free, no worries or fears, like you are free to be yourself and this showed throughout the poem.

I really liked how you described different parts of nature and how they all soothed you and you enjoyed being in their company, this shows a part of you and probably the biggest part of you for those who know you.

I often think that poems are well written and worded - but sometimes they lack what I call connection. Where, as a reader, you can genuinely feel the connection between the author and the words on the page, and in this case, I felt it very strongly. So well done.

You also start the poem with an image of a tired woman, bags under her eyes and just very exhausted, which gives me the idea this is her place of tranquillity that refreshes her mind and soul and connects her back to her life and why she is here. very beautiful.

keep writing xx

A superb writing.

Well look at you, Mrs. Fancy Pants. Dolling up yet another nature poem!...I say it all the time, I don't know how you can write hundreds of nature poems and they all be different, all be beautiful. That is just amazing to me.

The images in this piece are truly flawless..even the bit about the worms...usuaully I'd cringe or be like "was that necessary?", but it was necessary...shows a part of life, something we need to appreciate.

This a really lovely poem as always. I love it!
