Much of the beauty of this world
arose from derision, revision,
and dramatic change
rearranged
over time
Glaciers gratuitously
carve out majestic mountains
Volcanoes, eventually breathe
the making of breathtaking beaches
Thunderstorms preform,
precarious clusters of moisture
Replenishing soil & seed
We... also need to
rearrange and change
Become stronger,
more malleable,
less fallible
~
So bend with time,
become one with the world
Conquer consequences
with charmed choices
Go where the willows grow
and flights of fancy run free
Celebrate the change
in seasons with reasons...
Because time intensifies truths
while we're enduring, securing
The "times" of our lives

wow!! this is awesome!!!!! it's deep but not hard to understand. thanks for the entry!
-
I liked how your theme of time penetrated and was expressed in everything you wrote - all the wonderful imagery to the subtleness in your morality. You did a great job, good luck in the contest.
-
This was a very moving poem. Very clear theme and a good emotional delivery voice. I liked the imagery a lot. You really focused on everything that can shape our world- from the fury of nature to the mistakes of humanity. I enjoyed reading this and will strongly consider this- unforunately, I am a little apt to give a poem another trophy if it has already been awarded some.. I think other poems without trophies should also get a chance to stand. But, again, I liked this very much and will keep it on my "yes" list. Cheers.

Yes, the flow works beautifully here and makes it very 'visual'. Which is good, because I love that. Very nice write indeed.

Do you feel this is one of you better pieces?

I really like this piece. My favorite line is: "Go where the willows grow
and flights of fancy run free
Celebrate the change
in seasons with reasons..."
Bravo!!
-
I think this is a fantastic poem. It describes time in a manner so true and straight foward. The picture goes with the poem very well. Keep up the great work.

Wow!
Superb! I love the alliteration and "We also need to
rearrange and change" a prayer sent out to be heard if ever there was one...Best of luck in the contest, although luck seems to have taken your side. -

Interesting Write
This poem is simply divine in all its twisting and twirling. The vocabulary is fantastic. Very good read indeed. Best of luck. -
Wonderful
First, you won me with the painting, then the reference of it with your poem was extremely gorgeous. Compromise and convene with nature for it is all that really can be relied upon. Well written cannot wait to read more of your work

"So bend with time,
become one with the world
conquer consequences
with charmed choices"
That is lovely.. true words of wisdom here, Nicky... Indeed we need to bend with time and winds - like willows...and yes, celebrate the changes (the only constant thing in life).
You had me thinking with this deep and philosophical write!
