My favourite tree here is the willow. It is so apt. Thanks for making me laugh with your poetry comic.

A poetry comic is longer but shorter,

It speaks volumes with its visuals,

But it gives room for ponderings.

It makes you look in the same direction as the poet-artist,

But it evokes different emotional responses from the reader.

Try reading your poem without the pictures and then read it with the pictures.

Perhaps this will help you get the answer.

Thank you for making the morning better!

Have a wonderful day.

I recently found this old poetry anthology that had a cover with a comic series of an Emily Dickinson poem. The guy who did it was known for poetry comics. His were more like interpretations of famous poems through the form of comics. His name is Dave Morice. Anyway, it was interesting to explore some of his stuff. :)
