Sometimes in life we need to slow down and remind ourselves to enjoy the great beauties around us. Phoenix has a deep passion for sea life and making a difference in this world. This poem hopefully inspires others to appreciate the world around us as it comes in many forms.
I am looking at dolphins swimming
across
the tie-dye blue sea,
and the sand blowing in the cold
wind
I hear the waves pounding against the shore,
and the whales bellowing above the waves
I smell crisp, salty sea air,
and a strong aroma coming from
slimy, green seaweed
I feel the damp, cool morning dew on my face
and the warm sand in my toes
that is as soft as a pillow
I love when I spend time
near interesting sea creatures
It gives me inner peace
and makes me smile.

spring
Delicate petals and soft flowers
Are cozy seats for bugs
Bees eat the delicious nectar
off the flowers.
Love these lines. These lines so aptly describes the nature during spring time❤️❤️

Nora touched all my senses with the sun, the flowers with the delightful smells, the cozy soft petals, the thunder! Very well written and takes the reader to the beautiful setting created by the poem.

I can imagine the scene with the animals playing by the creek.
Amazing how she talks about saying goodbye to childhood being a child herself! Time does go by fast.

It is so true and from the heart. Friendship is like a seed!

I love this poem because by the end, I realize that she’s making a subtle but powerful connection between the animals she writes about and childhood. I first visualize animals playing but by the end I visualize children instead. It brings nostalgia to the reader and is very powerful!

What a powerful and perfect simile to compare friendship to a seed! Both are powerful and life affirming, and I love how the author uses the word “deep” both literally for a seed, and metaphorically for friendship. Very honest and powerful!

A beautiful poem, because it transports the reader to that essence of spring, that we all know and love. I can see and smell all the sites. My favorite part is how she compares the petals of flowers to being cozy seats for bugs. Wonderful imagery and use of metaphors.
