I like the idea of man and nature, or rather the creatorial connection between us, I guess the difference is being warm blooded or cold, but trees are a giver of life, and we are very dependent on the health of trees, beautifully written Lea, blessings Roy

What a wonderful verse for this Rhyming Poem contest. You did a really good job in saying a lot with a handful of words. The artwork is very dramatic and helps to set up the heat and burning feeling we get as we read. Well done and good luck.

This poem tells a very suspenseful story that draws the reader's interest and keeps them hooked. I was happy with the ending, but sad that the story wasn't longer. Maybe at some point you could lengthen this into a longer piece. If you do, please let me know.

    Thank you, that's a good suggestion. Actually, I may just do that. I was thinking about having all these poems is part of a story. The one they were created up until the time they had the force on fire. It will continue. I think I will bring in some new characters too. Maybe they have a conflict or something. We'll see. Monica, thank you for your time. I thank you for your fine words. I'm for the great rating two I hope you have a very happy new year!

This is an excellent rhyming poem, Lea. The words you choose to rhyme are very creative and tell a story of Humanitree and how the whole family bursts into flames only to be doused by water from a clear, running stream.
This provides wonderful imagery, and the artwork is amazingly realistic, as the family of three holds up during a fire.

All right, it's looking like we got some good start here. Thank you again for your career. Your encouragement, your kind words. In your time, most of all, have an awesome night!

    You're welcome, Lea.
    Go with adding some new characters, I think that is a good idea. Readers like conflict. Use your creative imagination.
    It will take you far.
    I walked last night with a walker. It was awesome!
    I hope you had a fantastic night, as well!

Ah, this handsome Humitree family has been saved from those flames that threatened their demise. And Girlitree is the saviour, adapting her hand to a tube to siphon water from the pond. I've grown so fond of these characters, Lea, so this is a time to celebrate and even add to their beautiful family? I wondered if Girlitree needed the ('s) Another excellent and original post. Well done, Lea, and good luck! Warm wishes, Debbie

Lea,

Another awesome Humitree poem. I'm glad that the family was able to get to water and get saved. Wonderful picture. Do you use AI to make them?

Well done and good luck in the contest

    I actually use multiple art programs. I create the light, the colors the general outline and then start to fill it in based on an idea that I have to match the poem and then it run through multiple filters, take away blur and add clarity. Sometimes I might change the shading or the filter.But I like to make them, they're pretty cool. Thank you so much for asking. I appreciate your time as always. I want to look at that doggy on there.He looks so cool too! Thank you again. I hope your Christmas was amazing. I hope your new year's even better!

Ah, yes. The scourge of forests and people everywhere--forest fires. And especially vulnerable now is this new race of Humitrees. At least they have the ability to find a pond and jump in to extinguish the flames, unlike trees who are rooted to the ground and must accept what comes their way. Another need episode chronicling this new race. Loved the picture too, Lea.

    Thanks, Jim. That's super kind of you to say. I have fun making those pictures. And I like to make them according to the idea of the poem that I have in my head, that perpetuates it on even a little bit more. I hope your Christmas was grand I really appreciate you taking the time to do this and offer your kind words you're reading lunch time. May your new year's be amazing!
