In The Comfort Of The Shade Comments

A one of a kind write with a great title. Its compelling imagery makes a reader feel and thankful of the trees that are always available to share their bounty. Their generosity is beyond compare and this wonderful write depicted brilliantly to the readers this wonderdul attribute. So beautifully crafted and well conveyed. Onto my Poem List.

Another poetic gem that focuses on the importance, wonders and beauty of nature more particularly trees. Of all living things, trees are the most giving creations. The totality of their being is offered to mankind and animals; leaves, branches, trunks , flowers and fruits. Even in their death, they still offer whatever is left.

A vivid scene of the heat of the summer, a woman struggling with the fierce sun and then nature presents it's gift of shade and to pause and drink in the scene of a few cows accepting of her presence in a very noble way! Beautiful write and great title!

Beautiful poem Valsa. Loved the picture also.

A beautiful poem with a beautiful image. Reading it, one feels one has reached an oasis away from the burning sun. (10)

Though man has encroaching on the animal habitat, yet in certain at instances nature, man and animal gel and mingle in perfect harmony. Loved this beautiful write.

A ruminating cow under a shady tree in hot summer is a heart-warming experience. The selfless nature of the tree and beautiful feelings of oneness with nature are so nicely brought out.

Dear Valsa George, I like your poem, tree shades are like an umbrella, console not only us but all living beings.

Picture is fantastic and match with the poem.

A Wonderful write Valsa. A meaningful question asked... Is not Nature a wonderful arbour Where men and animals cohabit! Yes, not only man but also animals search for shade especially in peak of summer where heat become unbearable. Very true said tree shades are like umbrella, which protect us from being baked in an oven. Loved reading it.

A tree is a great shade indeed for man and beast. And yor poem wonderful ofcourse. I admire how u said wooden elbows., n feathered folks. The sun is too scorching so yor poem is refreshing. Kudos! A full 10.

Life on this earth is not so pleasant, whether it's hot or cold we need a shelter and a shade. Beyond physical strains there are mental strains too, and again we need a shelter and shade. Lucky are those who get a shade of love but great are those who become shelter and shade for the ailing humanity. So let us pray, Oh! Almighty God, make us a shade and shelter for the sufferers and become a shade for us.
