Hi Can of
Just a couple of pet hates for me to start, capitalised lines and using the first line as your title, don't really work and detract for me. I like the image as it grows, firmly planting its toes, I think in such a short piece you can take time to open up some of the lines make the image clearer and help the reader take a break from the well placed alliteration. some notes below.
Ooops just spotted this is in Misc so I've probably over cooked the broth. sorry if this was not the kind of feedback you were looking for, but you can always ignore me, I have thick skin
good luck with your poem which ever path you choose.

From seeds soft soil slumber. this doesn't really make sense you need some fill words to help the reader.
Their lone limb lists and leans. a nice image but I'm L'ed out here just a touch too much
An awkward and unpracticed reach to the sun, the rain.
While roots wrap round fast to mother's breast the soil, nice image and twist
with primate tendril toes. Nice close bringing out the nurture nature side of the poem
