Mountain Songs
by Fritz Barnes → (All Poetry by Fritz Barnes)

The plants and animals, rocks and sand
Beneath the seas, across the land
The universe His mind has planned
And then created by His hand

The moon and stars in night-time skies
Proclaim His glory to the wise
The sun and rain, the lunar tides
All that we need, His hand provides

So I, a spec beneath the sky
I contemplate, and wonder why
A God who knows my faults and lies
Would send His Son to earth to die

As if in answer, nature sings
With mountain songs and flapping wings
Each gentle kiss His breezes bring
Each day, embraces from the King

Mmm, lovely, a beautiful tribute to the Creator. I especially like the last verse, which brings a smile each time I read it over.

This is a well-crafted poem. It is not easy to write in the form, but you have tackled it very well.

Fritz, its not bad, but for a rhyming poem there are a lot of speed bumps...ie, words that don't fit into the flow of the poem. Whenever a poem is set to rhyme it's melodic purpose is to flow from start to finish. You might want to consider losing the words with hard or extended sounds.

I also notice that some of the rhymes are a bit contrived...too easy, as a reader I was almost saying them before they even arrived, which makes it too easy to skip through the poem rather than read for meaning.
