You do a wonderful job of showing how the kingdom of heaven is within us. Beautiful descriptive imagery. However, although this is a minor concern, the poem is pleasantly one-sided. You don't describe the doom of hell. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful joyful poem.

Hullo Jlsavell ....

The many beautiful things which you have so well described in this writing are certainly to be treasured and appreciated whilst we are on this earth but ...
remember Our Lord's words about no eye having seen nor mind even imagined the wonders of what await us in Heaven.
There are just two small changes to recommend ...

* You have - and cats (plural) of all colors that playfully hisses (singular). I suggest - and a cat of wondrous colour that playfully hisses.
* You have - the mighty winged Eagle who soars and flies ... I suggest - that soars and flies ... because who refers to people.

Thank you for sharing this with us and I wish you well in the Contest.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.

You put so many of my favorite things in this poem that I think I must agree; with these pieces of heaven on earth I'll just stay with you. I've seen so many of God's handiworks here on planet earth, that I'd have to have an affirmative answer to all your questions before I willingly move on.

Your exquisite poem has a wonderful flow and cadence that makes me want to dance down the page again and again. Your eloquence is graceful, forceful, and persuasive. I can close my eyes and let my senses be inspired.

You have my vote for poem of the month. good luck

I never thought about the possibility that earth is more than heaven is terms of wonder and beauty and range of experience. What a wonderful concept, that God perhaps so outdid Himself as to create desire for a permanent stay on earth! Your piece is lush and fulfilling to read, as well as technically solid.

What an amazing piece of visionary. Very clever rhymes, although long its endearing and a joy to read. This must have taken you some thought. I appreciate your work. Well done.
