Look closely at the morning dew,
that magically appears.
How perfectly these jewels are formed.
like dew drop chandeliers.
Lasting but for moments,
and suddenly they’re gone.
As sunbeams gaze in wonderment,
then plant their kiss upon.
How can such gentle dew drops
compare with winter's storm?
In each the elements the same,
yet opposites in form.
If only I could capture,
forever in my hand,
the sparkling gems she sprinkles,
when nature waves her wand.

A very assured piece of nature poetry--I really enjoyed reading this well-rhymed and flowing poem.

Heartfelt and lovely. When I read this it made my heart flutter. Being a true nature freak myself, I can really relate to this. Nature...the planet is the most beautiful creation. Just one thing: 'hand' doesn't rhyme with 'wand.'
No biggie. Awesome job, keep it up! Thanks for entering, and good luck.

Well done
I so enjoyed this one and once again, a beautiful pic you have used as well. You are very talented, so don't let anyone tell you different

This was amazingly beautiful. I loved your flow and your language in this. The only technical thing I noticed was that you didn't put a question mark after the question you asked: "How can such gentle dew drops
compare with winters storm." Also, in that line, it should be "winter's" if I'm not mistaken. Or...you could change it up and put "winter storms". Either way.
Again, gorgeous poem. Loved it!

This is just beautiful...the picture, the words...I love nature in all its forms...this is really good..thanks for sharing
-
Very interesting poem. I enjoyed the meaning and feeling of it. I wasn't too fond of your rhyme, due to the simplicity of it, though the rhyme in your first stanza was good. Your poem is very "magical" and the picture is perfect for the piece (as well as beautiful).

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!
nice , it is simply beautiful
GREAT WRITE!!
-
Very nice poem. The rhyme was a little too "cheery" for my taste, but this is a lovely write. I love morning dew, and take walks verrry late at night for that reason.

WOW!!!This is so good!!I've never read about something so simple that was that amazing. You made something so simple and boring into something beautiful and magical. You gave your readers a whole new perspective and made them see nature the way that you see it. Fantastic write. This is great!!!!
-
Lovely!
This is wonderful! Very magical and very nicely written!
I love dew drops, I guess coz I am a poet and coz my real name means "Dew" (Nada).
Excellent word choice and good flow and rhyme. Your imagery is exceptional.. I like the idea of the gems. It is sad that they do not last long, but they will be seen again.
Keep on writing and good luck in all those contests.

This is such a serene and peaceful poem.
I like the flow of it, reading it and soaking in the scene around me.
Very nicely done.
-
A nicely crafted poem that flows beautifully. Lovely imagery allows me to see the dew and your phrasing has given me a new appreciation.
well done dear poet. good luck in the contests that you have entered.
-
This is very beautifully written, with superb flow and rhyme, wonderful

This is pure magic! I love nature writes, the one you have produced here is a joy to read. You have a natural ability for rhyme... when this is done properly, the poem flows like liquid gold, you have managed to do just that with this particular piece.
The graphic you have chosen fits your poem like a glove, the visual content adding just what is needed, the two go well together, your words bring that picture alive!
Well Done!
