Both beautiful poems @Pennywren
I particularly love the Seaside. So vibrant and full of life and colours.

Like both poems @Pennywren .
The seaside brings back memories of holidays and my love of the sea; and the other with references to wildlife.
Thank you for sharing them with us.

Used to love just floating in a warm sea, mask and schnorkel, flippers too, just watching the activity on the sea floor below - your poem catches that brilliantly, @Pennywren!

blossom tree
The tree heavy with such beautiful blossom,
Its heady scent a comfort.
A gentle buzz of a bumblebee,
As it alights a flower.
The pearlescent petals
Hide treasure within,
The nectar rich and beautiful.
On a backdrop of blue, blue sky
The tree seems to glow from within.
The sun lights up the blossoms
So they glow like mother of pearl.
The rich wood of the tree
Can hold a thousand secrets.
What wonders has this tree witnessed?
What future joy will it see?
The roots dig deep
Reach far beneath the soil.
A sturdy tree
Yet fragile and ephemeral.
The canopy of blossoms
Will cradle all your dreams.
Make a wish beneath her boughs
And let her take your dreams
And cast them to the stars.

Thank you @Pennywren for your "Blossom Tree" poem.
I`ve got a blossom tree in front of a neighbour`s front garden and one in my back garden so can identify with what you wrote.
I really like the lines
The rich wood of the tree
Can hold a thousand secrets.
What wonders has this tree witnessed?
What future joy will it see?
Great image.
Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Thank you.
I was inspired when I saw a beautiful painting someone had created of a tree laden with blossom. It was truly breathtaking.
lone wolf
The lone wolf stands on the hill
Darkness an ebony canvas.
The moon is high,
The stars alight,
The stillness absolute.
Moonlight picks out her silvery fur
As she stands alone.
She has wandered far,
Through woods
Cross streams,
Across plains.
The wolf is searching,
Following the call,
The gentle beckoning of the heart.
She presses on,
Unsure where she should go
But trusting her heart
To take her home.
Silently she pads across the grass
Only the movement of the grass
A sign that she is there.
Her amber eyes sparkle like jewels
As she moves through the night.
Each step takes her closer:
To home,
To her pack
Where she belongs.
Never will she stop,
Til her heart says:
"This is it...
I am home.
This is where I belong"

Just beautiful @Pennywren
I love wolves. One of my favourite pictures here.
A fantasy wolf which I once had as a wallpaper on my phone
