This is a good poem. The verses fit the title. The rhyme scheme is consistent in every stanza/verse except in 2 areas. Verse #1 wood and brook do not rhyme. In verse #2 top and chaos do not rhyme. I think if you fix those two spots you will have a better rhyming poem. I think also a visual of a babbling brook would add to the mood of the poem.

This is a nice poem. I think addresses the ephemeral feeling of Godliness in the peace and comfort of nature. It seems to be always there, even in the brief rainbows that visit us on occasion. Best wishes.

You caught my attention with the rhyming of 'mountain top' and 'most chaos' It doesn't seem like it works but its oddly satisfying. :)
I appreciated this poem, I am a nature boy myself, and haven't had the chance to enjoy nature as I once did so I got to live vicariously through your poem!!

I think you have found the right answer to the chaos and turmoil of our daily lives. Turning intentionally to God certainly brings me contentment and joy even in the face of heartbreak.

Well done.
Blessings

The best way to regain what was lost, such as joy, is to observe that scripture, "If you draw close to God, He will draw close to you." "In your presence is fulness of joy." This is beautifully written my friend, they are magnificently done, blessings Roy

Good rhyming and easy to read. Our world is filled with turmoil and strife but we can find peace in spending some quiet time with the Lord, and letting Him renew our hearts and minds.

We are living in such terrible times and I can certainly understand why you would need to find comfort in nature. This poem flowed and I found it very relatable. Regards, Lilly

I like your theme and agree, getting out in nature brings us peace. You have a smooth flow of rhyming words that gives your poem an almost musical feel to it. I like the line about the mountain top relieving chaos, so true.

I loved your poem! The author's words are filled with seeing the
important things of life, are descriptive, clear, meaningful and creative.
I pondered on these words and after raising my sons, now watching my
grandchildren grow up - what is most important to me is "Peace".
Thank you for this beautiful poem....Maria

Excellent entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest.

Good poem about nature and God with a great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear poetic vision..
