MY FAVORITE POET

My favorite poet is God above
Who gives Earth its rhythm and rhyme.
Not pied pipers of misguided souls
Who promote distrust, hatred and crime.

Poetry is nature serenading in song
The peaceful roar of the oceans waves.
The wind through the trees and over the hills
And the flowers in the fields by the graves.

The sound of rain as it waters the thirsty
The songs of children at play in the park.
The far off rumble of trains or thunder
As they pass through the night in the dark.

The joy of our babies first words and steps
The passion of life with its heroes and clowns.
The on going struggle to survive our sins
As we proliferate in hamlets and towns.

My favorite poet is our Father of love
Who was first to know us before birth.
His poetry prolongs every thing we love
As His deliverance gives life its worth.

I find a lot of this rather sickly and Ido wish that people could be more inspired about thier faiths. I love the line 'Poetry is nature serenading in song'. The idea is inventive and I can see what CRC below, means. This shows the makings of a good idea but the images (babies, yuk!) is rather cliched.

That said I do enjoy the pace of this piece.

Bravo Tom! This is beautiful. Our Heavenly Father is the author of all things good. His poetry is the most beautiful of all. Thank you
Richard
