Oh my, what a beautiful story! Oh my this contest is getting harder for me than I initially thought! Thank you for sharing! Valid entry of course!
The rigid stalk snaps. Be like the bamboo that bends and sways with the breeze, flexible and firmly rooted!
Thanks for hosting @bamboozled

Ah, a zen master! I was hoping to attract some philosophers as well. Valid entry!
LOL, here's a photo of a zen master (his name is Mr. P). As Eckhart Tolle said "I have lived with several zen masters, all of them cats". Not quite a bamboo pic, but kinda related in a lateral way :D
This is a poem which was inspired by my feelings about bamboo. I first spent time in a bamboo forest in Thailand in Chiang Rai, I didn't take any pictures as I was completely bliss-ed out from meditating and this was years ago before I started blogging. The poem has been previously published as a steemit post but I thought it was worth another share in your fantastic competition @bamboozled. The pic here is the one I used in the post sourced from unsplash.com and looks very much how I remember the bamboo forest at Khun Korn Waterfall in Chiang Rai.
bamboo forest emptiness.
In my heartbeat's settling breath,
death's promise, undoing.
Messianic in growth, bamboo
wood-grass measures time
in partitions. Sifting mana
from soil - soul from sap.
I elapse into your wanton growth
collapse into bamboo
mazes of mind, in observance
I merge with you, I find quiet.
This is wonderful. Truly! Thanks for sharing your poems with us once more. Valid entry!
Bamboo pillows! I still don't understand how they make something so soft from what is basically a stick.
They make pillows from bamboos? This world is so strange.
Yes, they're really comfy too.
Ah bamboo viscosis! It's so soft, isn't it? I always wonder about that as well. Valid entry!

I've replaced some of my oak hardwood floors with engineered bamboo floors. They're more durable and look pretty good.
I've also been playing with the idea of planting a 3 ft/1 m wide path of clumping bamboo to block the view of some uphill neighbors into my house. Still haven't pulled the trigger on that one since it'll be pretty expensive.
But time is on your side. Bamboo spreads like crazy and if you build an underground barrier for the rhyzomes it will grow in the direction you want! We do have bamboo kitchen floor as well Valid entry!

Anyways, on to the actual topic at hand:
Well, I never really had encountered bamboo in a material sense. Like I never seen one in "actuality," but I have seen them in games and pictures whenever it is convenient for the setting that I so happen to tread upon. The only real knowledge I have of bamboo was of that in elementary school, that being that they can grow ridiculously tall and are very strict in their stiffness and straightness as they are being farmed.
Otherwise, this was like stumbling into a bad part of the forest and me knowing better to leave right now. Which I shall after stumbling to make this comment right now.
A bamboo newbie! Time to travel and have a cocktail in a bamboo tiki bar! Maybe as soon as you have a steady basic income going on. Valid entry!

My cat hiding up in the bamboo branches the first time she was let out into the yard.

Thanks. This was a small stand of bamboo behind a house we used to live in, in North Carolina, U.S. I don't think she'd ever seen bamboo before, and really liked being up in it. =^..^=
I have clothes made of Bamboo. Very comfortable, naturally cool and sustainable!
I'm curious, what kind of clothes? Anyways, valid entry!
Boxershorts and t-shirts
bamboo boxershorts! Interesting.
The word bamboo makes me happy, I can't do without it in a month, we use it as staking in the farm to stake cucumbers,
presently in Nigeria there is new Innitiave in vogue now by using bamboo to build a green house.
If I can't cut them from the bush I'll buy @N150 that's $0.43 per one and I'll buy up to 50 pieces.
Thank you for that piece of information! The greenhouse looks so cool and your pictures made me smile just like the word bamboo does too! Valid entry!
