Angel Earth, Earth Angel
An angel descended upon the earth
One of many, she’s the angel of birth
Tending the children O so splendid
Upon the earth an angel descended
The animal life, the plants and the trees
The farms and the crops, the fish in the seas
Watching o'er us, as she plays her fife
The trees, the plants and the animal life
This glorious angel sent from above
Suckles the children, she’s guardian of love
Cares for the soil and flowers so fragile
Sent from above, this glorious angel
The time has come and she sheds a tear
Mankind is destroying her children so dear
She weeps at what the world has become
She sheds a tear and the time has come
Yet the angel knows it’s all in the plan
Watching our children the best that she can
Still the flowers, trees and earth as it grows
It’s all in the plan the angel knows

Funny how everything is all in the plan yet she tends to the children. This makes me think of prophisies in the bible. How things are going to happen. Why we fight this battle betwixt good and evil when the result is known. I think because God cares about our feelings. I am getting a lot out of your work.

Thank you, that’s the nicest complement you can give a poet.
Love,

I like this a lot, the rhyme isn't forced like in some form poetry which was good. It even kind of sounds like a poem I wrote - the idea anyway...that the angel is looking after the world even though it is destroying itself. Well, thank you for entering and good luck x take care x

It works! Form Queen? That's a stretch. Poetry Princess? Now, that has legs. Mmmmm. Legs. My favorite part was:
"...Watching o'er us, as she plays her fife
The trees, the plants and the animal life..."
Vivid imagery! Thank you. Three bunnies for this.

Amera,
This was just a really, really sweet write; especially:
This glorious angel sent from above
Suckles the children, she’s guardian of love
Cares for the soil and flowers so fragile
Sent from above, this glorious angel
The time has come and she sheds a tear
Mankind is destroying her children so dear
She weeps at what the world has become
She sheds a tear as the earth is succumb
yeah, this was very nice indeed
