Celtic Tree Astrology #Poetry Challenge

ELDER – THE SEEKER
November 25 – December 23

Elder types tend to be freedom-loving and sometimes appear to be a bit wild compared to the other Celtic tree astrology signs. In younger years, you may have lived life in the fast lane and as a “thrill seeker”. You are often misjudged as an outsider as you have a tendency to be withdrawn despite your extroverted nature. You tend to be very considerate of others and genuinely strive to be helpful. These acts of assistance are sometimes thwarted by your brutal honesty. Elder signs fit well with Alder and Holly signs.

Celtic Tree Astrology

Celtic tree astrology – a fascinating world of wonder,
Of inexplicable celestial powers,
Expansive than our understanding
Extends an illusionary control – 
Thrives on mere predictions 
But life itself is unpredictable.
Though clouds of skepticism hover
Yet human interpretations abound.
I am “The Elder”
Amazingly, many of my traits match!

*****

She prefers Freedom,
loves to fly with the fairies
always the seeker,
a perpetual giver  
but misjudged for speaking truth

🌳 This week’s challenge is to find out what type of tree you are based on Celtic Tree Astrology! Find your tree sign HERE. 🌳

🌳 Then write a syllabic poem that incorporates your tree into the syllabic poem. Please copy your tree information on your post, so we can see which tree you are. 💚

🌳 Remember, if you write a freestyle poem, please add a syllabic poem to go with it.

Thank you Colleen, for another innovative challenge. I enjoyed the fun!

  6. I just read a great book about trees–everything I didn’t know–so this is perfect timing (it didn’t cover any spiritual issues).

      1. You’re welcome, Balroop. I’m always impressed at how you can write on command for these challenges, and what you share is so beautiful.
        I’ve had two good days, but each day is a mystery as to the pain. Thank you. Hugs

  12. Balroop, it is interesting how it characterizes in a way that each one could fit certain aspects of our personalities. I like how you customized it to your perspective.

  13. Another super fun prompt. I like where you went with it, and how funny that many of the qualities were a match. The tanka was especially lovely. Well done, my friend. Hugs.
