Soliloquy Of A Bunyan Tree Comments

Rating: 5.0

I am a Bunyan tree, full of magic and grace
Nestling in the slopping ridge of a valley
From a tiny seed dropped by a bird, I grew
Into immeasurable size with a verdant crown

Perhaps a humble tree, yet you capture the noble and regal parts of the personality so well. The Bunyan discovers life through this verse. A great poem, Valsa.

How i missed this beautiful poem on the banyan tree, Glad i found it now. Both the poem and the picture is beautiful. So is the poetess who has written it. One of my favourite trees, Valsa. Is it spelt as 'Bunyan'?

A wonderful tree and a magnificent poem to match it. It seems incredible that it is one tree and it plays host to so many creatures. I love poems about trees. One of my favourites is by Paul Valery, the French poet, to a Plane Tree (au platane) . We have several trees in our garden. I love the different shades of green and the shadows they create. Great poem

Oh, that tree beckons me to climb among its branches and probe its mysterious leafy center. You write with love and cheer about the tree and its friends, the squirrels and the birds. This is such a happy poem penned from a happy heart and read by your readers with a happy soul!

Very poetic. I perfectly like it when poems are written from perspective. The poem is poetic and educational at the same time. Let that tree forever be. The picture is breath taking too.

So happy to see Valsa back and be able to enjoy her marvelous poem. Banyan tree is so magnificent. This picture reminded the one I recently saw in Puducherry near Matrimandir. So beautiful! Welcome back Valsa. Long time back I wrote a sort of story poem on Banyan tree called ' Ashwatha Tree '. Please do read it when you get a chance.

An amazing personification of a tree, a tree that reminds us of Almighty God, who provides shelter and His provisions are open to all His creatures. On the other hand it symbolizes a human saint who serves all the creatures irrespective of their color, cast, creed or religion. Recently such a man Abdul Sattar Edhi passed away in Pakistan. Through out his life he served humanity and donated his entire body. After his death his eyes were found useful and a blind person can now see the world through his eyes.
