Comment from Judy Couch

Excellent

This is a very good 5-7-5. I like its use of the common things in the universe to demonstrate God's creation and His care for us. I especially like the ending: "God reigns over all" This sums up the entire poem well.

A poem that emulates the pristine qualities and transformations that God has so richly blessed us with to bring about change in our lives.

Stunning photography that is totally showcased by the poem. Each phrase is so visual that he feels as if the Lord is picking a paintbrush and adding to the sky. Beautiful. AT=/

This meets the contest requirements nicely. This is a style I publish quite frequently so I tend to be picky about them since they have become my favorite writing style over the past few months. Each stanza stands alone well, more importantly, you flow in a smooth progression from beginning to end. The imagery is well done and you avoid those little filler words for the most part which improves the overall experience. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

I want to take just a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your poem, and for utilizing one of my paintings for it. It seems to me that the two were made for each other. God bless you. Lynnieellie (FAR)

Beautiful picture. I like the flow of your 5-7-5s. They all work together well. Two things that I would change:

Thunder verse its not it's

last verse make two words from sunsets sun sets (sunsets does seem to work but sun sets is better)

Good job and good luck in the contest.

this is very well written, mystery writer, beautiful imagery presented, I think you have a syllable error in the last line of the first stanza--I count six instead of five syllables. good luck in the contest.

Hi there, I fixed the syllable count (had to change a word) thank you for pointing it out as I think I like this better, hope you do too. :-)

Maybe I can guess who you are but am not sure. A beautiful photo complements your poem, it is dot on syllable count. Best wishes for the prompt.
