In Praise Of God's Good Earth Poem by Tan Pratonix

In Praise Of God's Good Earth

Rating: 4.7


Hoosh, whoosh,
The wind is up,
The birds go whizzing by,
And all around
Upon the ground
The dandelions fly.

I cannot see a speck of grey
I cannot see the sun,
But only one vast stretch of blue
Where foamy horses run.

I cannot see for ecstasy
In one huge throbbing thrill
Has burst into a wave of wings
And dances in the hills.

I like very much, Tan; you start with to attempt to work with rhyme in the first verse then freely you go to prosaic style and then you are back. A youthful spirit is also demonstrated. Thanks for affirming the God of the good earth. Take care.

This poem must have been, I think, one of your early poems written between the time of 17 and 19 years of age. There's an inconsistant meter running through it and although I liked your poem it could be improved.
