I like this poem a lot. Before I read this poem, I always thought that hugging trees was well..dumb, no offence!
But after I read this it made me think about my point of view. This poem makes you think a lot, especially about how, in a way, it's like we're a part of the tree's life, not the other way around.
But, also, I loved how your poem did not necessarily rhyme, but it still had rhythm.
I also like how you made stanzas and lines short. I forget the real word for continueing thoughts from one line to another, but that's what you did! =]
This is a very good poem. I enjoyed reading it. Even though it reminded me of how I've grown up. When I was young I hated the cold and always wanted to be warm and happy. Now, that I've lived I know different. I was always being yelled at, waking up to hear my parents fighting, and always being at the burnt of arguments, and still am. I used to fear the darkness, I feared what and who was in it. I feared that my future was in it. Even though I learned to embrace the darkness; my future. And I learned to embrace the cold; my future. This was a very good poem, I also like to think of how lives of all living things played out. All except for humans, I'm not much of a people person. I've been trained to stay alone and keep to myself by my parents. If I tried to speak I was either ignored or only yelled at. I like being out in the world, and away from the people who are casting the chains over my blackened wings.
May the divine darkness be with you,

I agree with Aaron, Euna. You are a very skillful
writer. Your vocabulary does appear to be that of an older, more experienced writer.
But I also agree that you should carefully consider what you are trying to convey after you 'discover' yourself hugging the tree. That was a pivotal moment,and to me, the perfect ending, or wrap-up, to the work. Perhaps leaving only the last stanza to remind us to be ourselves... getting in touch with nature somehow gives us a feeling of wholeness.. secure in our identity.
Great write! I know sometimes it's a message we are telling about our own experiences, and you can't really tell what is and is not important to the structure of the story. I am not an expert writer, but I am advising you only the parts that took away the 'magic'. I was so enthralled, then the adventure climaxed, and everything after that seemed somewhat to distract from the feeling you had created. Maybe I should have put all of this in an email?
Very vivid imagery. Debbie
It's beautiful and shows a great sid eof who you are. It also gives a nice perspective to tree huggers as they are called. I myself call it a love for nature and its an importnat aspect of life. ^^ I love your peom
This is a very beautiful poem Euna, mainly because it showed who you are. It showed that, well, you aren't afraid to hug trees. You aren't afraid to be who you are and tell everyone that. It's a very touching poem, and considering that we don't have trees in Greece, only bushes, it was helpfult o me, too. :-) Good work!
Call "me" crazy, but I can relate. Once you actually "hug" a tree you can feel the energy and life within it. It's a beautiful feeling if you can let yourself go like you could. All life is sacred including natures. Nice write.
Welcome !
