Honestly, all the pictures that I've seen in your poems are amazingly photographed and artful! And so enchanting, too. This one is just the same, and it reflects the poem itself :)

Wisdom placed the the right word "ancient" on its proper seat. So the writing is universal. Very nice.

I like your choice for the picture. Silhouetted trees are so striking. Excellent haiku. This tree must have been through a lot of storms to be ancient.
