The Tibetan Cherry Tree

Kimberley Hamilton

The Tibetan Cherry Tree

Dressed in ribbons of copper and gold,       Colours rich and deep and bold,
Textures both smooth and rough,
A strong wee tree and pretty tough.

Dressed in God's unfailing love,
Blessings and Joys sent from above,
The Autumn colours in the Fall,
They show that God is in it all.

About this poem

I wrote this poem as I was in awe of the beautiful bark on this ornamental Tibetan Cherry Tree. God dresses the trees and flowers and He also dresses us with His love. God is in all things including The Tibetan Cherry Tree. Kim

    This poem is absolutely beautiful and filled with vivid imagery that transports the reader to the scene of the Tibetan Cherry Tree. The use of color and texture descriptions really bring the tree to life, making it easy to visualize and appreciate its beauty.

    I especially love the message of God's love and blessings being reflected in the changing colors of the tree. It adds a deeper layer of meaning to the poem and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore different poetic devices such as similes, metaphors, or personification to further enhance the imagery and emotional impact of the poem. Adding some varied linguistic techniques could elevate the poem even more and make it even more engaging for the reader.

    Overall, this poem is a wonderful piece that conveys a message of beauty, resilience, and divine love. Keep up the great work!
