Mighty in his fortress
receiving a lukewarm reception
the moose ambles along
searching for an article for his affection
Coming to a meadow
with a blanket of flowers
he lets out a call
been searching for an hour
She appears
warm and calm
blinking her eyes
chewing on a palm
Moving closer
the mating ritual begins
an interesting dance
in perfect rhythm
Call accepted
together in bliss
commitment to each other
sealed with a kiss
Months later
a new life emerged
the family is growing
a welcome addition to the herd
The sun filters
among the flowers and trees
the herd lives in peace
enjoying life in the breeze

BEAUTIFUL POST.

A beautiful creative use of the prompt! Bravo!
Thank you. It was a fun prompt. Thanks for reading.
We have no wild moose in the Uk. This is a romantic homage to the majestic creatures though. Beautiful poetry.
Thank you. I saw a moose really close many years ago in the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming. He was a beautiful creature. Have a wonderful day!
Wow, that was a special experience. We have regular deer here, I love it when I can be near and watch them.
