I enjoyed your rhymes and repeats in this Villanelle in iambic pentameter. Once again, your photograph is an excellent accompaniment to your poem. I admired your "Master Painter's" metaphor and elevated language. Smiles- Joan

God's work conspires to set the soul aflame, ... the word conspires is so powerful in this context

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for sure ....:)

I'm undone - again - by another breathtaking nature offering from your virtual pen, Tom!

Hi Treischel,

Thiss is a marvelous Villanelle an one I enjoyed from the first line to the last. I do like the Villanelle poetry form but forget to write one unless I read a good one. Your iambic pentameter is spot on and lends music to the lines. You have chosen lovely words to express the beauty of our surroundings. I love Nature poems and this one is no exception. I promise I am not giving you a six because you gave me one but because this piece deserves that and more....chey

I love this photo you took to complement your poem. I liked you chose meter for it.And you put in a quest to preserve nature as well. A well written Villanelle with nice repeating lines.

I enjoyed this poem very much and the Villanelle is one of my favourite styles. They are not easy to write to achieve a natural sound, but I think you achieved it well. And I also identified with the statement about nature, Giddy

Such beauty doth the natural earth proclaim. From the icy kingdoms of the north, with their deep seas and snowy pine-filled Alps, to the warm kingdoms of the Mediterranean, with their light blue seas and golden sand, to the vast expanses of America with giant lakes, mountains, plains, truly this earth is unique.

Wonderful poem. I am not familiar with the poetic style. So I appreciated the notes. It is in excellent form too. Good flow of rhythm and rhymes. Excellent work.
