I love the artwork you choose to go with your poem, it is a perfect match
you capture my attention from the start
I understood what you meant from the start
When the cool sea breeze blow it sends seed to from the old tree to star Ta new growth of a new tree.
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt poem

Thanks. I've never seen a tea tree either. I know they live in Australia. I found that lovely picture on FanArt. I really don't know what or where that tree is.

I enjoyed the sentiments here and wish you luck with the contest, trees don't mind being lonesome, but they thrive much better in a community where they can link their roots and become strong, I enjoyed your presentation, love Dolly x

Thanks. I hope the tree doesn't mind being alone. Or if it does it will drop some seeds and make some buddies.

In my opinion, a lovely and gentle poem in smooth lyrical movement, a work that requires framing for its simple beauty and elegance - complies with the prompt easily, and is a stunning contest entry...

You did a great job with the contest prompt, Mystery Author. Your words number correctly in each line, the end and internal rhymes are included, the image is a great pairing, and your words have a relaxing feel. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

I'm not sure where tea trees grow. I would have thought in some place very hot but this poem and photo certainly set the scene for a lonely tree. Thank you for the poem.

Thanks. I thought the tree in the picture was beautiful. I'm not sure where it is, or what the tree really is. I'm pretty sure tea trees grow in Australia.

You're welcome.

This is a difficult poem form, but you've handled it well. You even have four rhymes instead of two!
You capture a loneliness in the breeze and the single old tree.

It seems this poem was written for this picture. Or you were just lucky to find the perfect piece or artwork.

Thanks. I started with breeze and trees. Then I found the picture and the poem evolved a bit.

You're welcome. It happens that way sometimes.

Seabreeze... Isn't that a drink made from rum, cranberry juice and pineapple juice? I'm thinking, with that drink and the view from your illustration, adding your poem, would be a great way to start an evening. Best wishes.

Thanks. I've never heard of the drink, but it sounds good. Add a great view...perhaps another poem.

You are welcome, and I'm looking forward to your next poem.
