Tears were falling upon the little forlorn church
No joy was heard from its empty inside
A mocking bird began to explain from his lofty perch
That the worship service was going on outside
Clouds have parted before the blue-sky arc, lighting the land
Clover covered over in raindrops, wind blown began to sway
Small winged creatures before the flowers fanned
The dancing daffodils drove the stinging rain away
Blades of grass had waited for the rain to pass
To disgorge their beetles and lady bugs
Improvised in leaf disguise worms held fast
To their chosen branches with bear hugs
Soon to be butterflies, they are wise to wait
Until they perform metamorphosis
Into the beautiful butterfly state
And pollinate their mate along with the roses
A robin sings a sweet duet with the mocking bird
An audience of God’s creatures is amassing
A whole choir of birds can now be heard
The church bells sing a solemn melody of time passing

Thank you so much for entering my contest.
I really loved this poem, but it was about many things in nature. You didn't take time to put in the authors comment which option you decided to choose, and that's usually the downside of prewrites. Anyway, I did enjoy the poem, and the fact that you were able to incorporate God into it. Good poem.

Thank you for entering.
Good Luck in the contest,
Take Care,

Yes there is God in everything and it is vain to believe that humans are the only ones that are thankful! (at least some are thankful) This is very nice. I enjoyed it a lot! Shaker

Breathtaking
That flow was breathtaking. Whoa. OK, first I loved it 'cause, well it had to do with God and nature, which I think alot of people miss out on.
Also, the imagery is AMAZING!!!! I loved the dancing daffodils who drove the stinging rain away. You are one hell of a writer Ellis. I think you may be blooming!!
