Congratulations on your win. Your "Autumn Glory" is a lovely write. What a line, "stretching arms in prayer." Enjoy your day/win writing away........

Thank you, Paula. I was looking at the trees with bare branches - and they really seemed to me stretching arms upwards in prayer.

Greetings dear friend! What a beautiful image of "bare branches" in prayer and meditation! So reflective of your poetic creativity! I will never look at bare branches in the same way again. And that, dear Mala, is poetry - to change our perceptions and sight! Wonderfully done. Hugs and blessings! Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you, Dearest Friend. What an honour for me to receive this comment from you, Sam.. "I will never look at bare branches in the same way again. And that, dear Mala, is poetry". Sometimes, honestly I feel a doubt in my ability to write...and then, Dear Friend, my heart becomes full with confidence and joy, when I receive an inspiring comment from my beloved friends! Life is full of hopes!
