Creation

After studying the Christian view of the creation of the world, I was inspired to write this poem.


Beginning of the morning

The light a gift for all

So soft so strong it is today

A beautiful creation

Another day has come and gone

To leave another morning

Another day for night and sky

A beautiful creation

The day is gone another comes

Alive are plants and trees

Separate are the land and sea

A beautiful creation

Another gift another blessing

Let light guide us in our lives

The darkness hides in fear of light

A beautiful creation

Yet another day is here

The fish swim in the sea

Birds are flying overhead

A beautiful creation

Another day again is here

The last and final gift

A beating heart and love for all

A beautiful creation

The seventh day of rest and peace

So blessed is it now

We sing of praise for the time we have

What a beautiful creation

  1. Beautiful creation Kelsey! :) No seriously though, this is a really good poem. You used a great amount of repetition and each line really drew me into it even more.

  2. This is a finished poem for you. You have developed a style here that works, and one that serves the topic well. It's particularly courageous to tackle such a difficult theme. Well done.

  4. I like the repetition at the end of each stanza. I also liked how you chose a topic not many people would write about. Nice work, I really enjoyed reading your poem!

  5. This poem was really cool. I like how you metaphorically related this to such a broad topic. It gives you a lot to think about. Great job!

  6. The repetition was amazing, the vocabulary sounded very sophisticated, even if it was simple, and the length was just right. This is a really excellent piece. Awesome job! :D
