The theme of beauty created by the Creator is welcome and needs to be remembered so that we mere mortals don't let our egos grow too large.
Thank you for this.

Nature can indeed produce wonders far in advance of the best productions of the most talented human minds; things that are truly awe-inspiring.
Of course, nature is also responsible for much that is vile and hideous, but we don't like to dwell on those aspects of "creation". Nevertheless, those things provide good justification for not assigning intelligent or benevolent agency to what is an indifferent force.
This piece chooses to dwell on nature's constructive side, and does so in a most pleasing way.

This poem, Creating Beauty, has the proper formatting and admits that the best we can do is imitate nature's beauty. Even the worst we see is better than our best.

Thank you, yet again for bringing this forward! Amazing, is it not, that as much as humankind tries to mar the planet, now artist can match the beauty of nature? Love your ending...
It is, literally, divine!

Ah, it is your sensitivity that is divine. That is the true genius of the writer. Not what he or she commits to paper or screen but the affect it might have on the reader of the words. Your sensitivity to absorb poetics is quite unique. I just write them but it takes you and those who can truly relate to make them come alive. Thank you, friend, for all your astute comprehension of this strange and ancient art form. tom

What a gorgeous poem with AABB written so well it flows smoothly. Truly, "No artist lives who can create what nature gives." I read your promise . . . and I'm waiting!

I like your imagination - Picasso paintings passing by. It not only reflects the beauty in the sky, it also has a hidden meaning. It has to be a great artist who can create such beauty.
"I bow before this awesome art," shows how this beauty moves people's heart.
Thank you for sharing

The message sent through glorious timbre rings true.
No matter the art form chosen, the soul of the artist always finds its way out.
This verse flows like a stream, from one line to the next with beautiful imagery and sensory words.
Your poetry is inspiring, thank you for the offering.

Aside from the "slam dunk" perfect ending, this was my favorite stanza:
The streaks of gold and ebony
Move hearts and minds to ecstasy;
I bow before this awesome art,
No greater gift has blessed my heart.
Beautiful.

I found the author's word beautiful, descriptive and creative. I liked how
this author states in the second stanza "no artist lives who can give what
nature gives"! I agree with these words! The poem flows and connects
well. I pondered on the thought that there is no art better then the
beauty surrounding us. Great Poem!
