Comment from Simple Reflection
Nice! I have to admit I was a little disappointed that this poem was abstracting the same art as the prompt. (I guess I was hoping to see a new abstract) But when I read your last lines, your author's notes, and then reread your poem...I thought this was most impressive! Great alliteration, great poem! Good luck in the contest!

Thank you for your kind review. I am glad you liked my abstract poem. I had thought of using something else but this picture really moved me.
Comment from Eleanor Buron
Good theme and thought progression - I like the notion of orange clouds descending and lighting the void. The art and poem combo is terrific.

Great abstract piece here jo!!! One of the best of these entries I've read so far - simple, to the point, abstract but not so convoluted that I have no idea what you're talking about! Well done! :) Sharyn

Thank you Sharyn for your kind review. I was afraid the
poem was too simple and not abstract enough. I am glad you
liked it.

frankly, I prefer simplicity!!! :)
Comment from Flamingbush
Ooh, this is wonderful. I adore the imagery in it.
Blue void, circling out of control: a picture of total chaos
My mind can't conceive: neither can mine
This barren ball
Bleak and black
No day or night freezing!
Then,
Orange clouds descend
Warmth is felt
Light shines into the void
A beautiful picture of creation

You know, I didn't realize until reading this poem how little vibrant colors come into play in my imagination when thinking on when He created the world. You have given me something I obviously didn't have before with this wonderful poem, and for that, I am grateful.
Nice work. :)

Nice poem. I truly believe one learns after the light touches one's soul, then the true learning of truth begins. God bless and keep up the great writing.

Thank you Frank for your kind review of my poem. Yes, you are right. Once we have the Light there is no true darkness
anymore.
Comment from RaymondJohn
You have very accurately shown what things probably were like. The void and nothingness before creation is different from that which came after. It's the difference between some things being a trillion miles apart, and there being nothing to measure. Fine write. Ray.

Comment from Jacqueline1616
Very interesting...I love the way of this.
Circling out of control
A cold lonely place
My mind can't conceive (I love this verse especially)
Warmth is felt
Light shines into the void
(wonderfully put!)
A very different way of describing creation......makes my spin a bit, a thought of the "blue void"...But I do love that you make people think of what is not part of your everyday pattern of thought.
Thank You...wonderfully done!
