I like very much, Tan; you start with to attempt to work with rhyme in the first verse then freely you go to prosaic style and then you are back. A youthful spirit is also demonstrated. Thanks for affirming the God of the good earth. Take care.

This poem must have been, I think, one of your early poems written between the time of 17 and 19 years of age. There's an inconsistant meter running through it and although I liked your poem it could be improved.

Great poem I know a good one when I read it and I can see it at the same time. I Tom Zart have become the most published poet on the web and your poems are as good or better than mine.

Excellent. You don't lose the music anywhere within it. Reminds me of Gerard Manley Hopkins 'The World is charged with the grandeur of God'.

A very beautiful poem! I belive a person sees God in everyhing or he sees God in nothing. I loved this because it described God's work so wonderfully! All my best-Faith

Dear Tan-I thank you for your contact with me, I thank you for the ease in which you take me in this poem to the pure spirit that prances in our lives-the Blessed Beauty rides such horses, in the indefinite plain of our worldly existence-You may not understand what I'm saying, let it suffice that I love what you are doing, and it inspires my heart. Phillip

I like the image of 'waves of wings.' The use of rhyme without a set pattern for the rhymes in each stanza is an interesting way to avoid sing-song rhyme.
