In the Realm of Nature




Bringing forth all things equidistant
Giving us the natural process of change,
Celestial Earth and miracles it blossoms.

The womb of all things vital
The earthiness of her beauty
Our mother, with her fertility

Fruitful of all other elements
And the heavens divine
Abundance with her life giving spirit

Beauty with every breathe it weaves
Harmony in every ritual of prosperity
We live and celebrate in the very heart of life.









Author notes

Written July 26, 2008
The earth provides us with food that we eat & on its surface we live out our lives. Finally when the time to return to the Goddess and God comes we shall thank them for every bountiful blessing. It is with nature that we become one.
Blessed be!

    Hey! I am glad you are opening up to constructive criticism, that is the mark of a true writer. Many people on here live for applause, but reject criticism.

    I don't think you should be ashamed of your work, for this forum is exactly for what you are doing: practicing.

    If I were to advise you, I would say that I think you have a good idea and theme, but that your message is not being clearly communicated. For one thing, some of the words you are using are not accurately used. Equidistant, for example, means "of the same distance" (equal + distant) and doesn't seem to work where you have it.

    Perhaps try this:

    Take your best line (I like: "with every breathe it weaves harmony") and start a new poem with it.

    Or!

    Try putting your poem to a form (an alliteration would be a good choice, as would be a pastoral or villanelle). This will force you to stop and think about how you want to delvier your message more clearly and may ultimately help you construct a stronger poem.

    I applaud you not for the poem (which I think is just a draft for you!) but for your williness to accept criticism.

    There is an old proverb: the wise man gives his ear to worthy council while the fool scorns the words of his elders.

    I would be much abliged if you would give some of my poems your 2 cents... I am not yet satisfied with Grandpere's Cellar or At the Crimson Altar, for example.

    Woot!

    i always find it interesting to read poems people aren't that proud of. i really like the words in this piece. the large vocabulary used gives a unique feel for sure. a nice message too. i think this is really nice and i'm sure with some little tweaks or whatever you could alter it more to your own liking. keep up the good work! -Jamie
