untitled

You know he is there
When you see the sunset splashed on a canvas-like sky
When you feel the sun's blistering heat
When you can smell the sweet smell of a summer storm

You know he is there
When you feel the bite of a cold winter's morning
When you see the glimmer of a frost covered world
When you taste the snowflakes as they melt on your tongue

You know he is there
When you hear the wind whisper a thousand words
When you hear the silence of nature at peace
When you see a thousand colored autumn leaves

You know he is there
When you see the birth of new life
When you smell the fresh smell of flowers blooming
When you hear the serene sound of a spring shower

I know he is here
With me
Always.

 Notes:

            The meaning behind my poem was to reveal all the miraculous things God does.  As I was writing this I thought about how many people go through life with faith or any beliefs at all.  The composing process was not very difficult.  Once I got started it just started to flow.  I thought about incorporating all four seasons in my poem and separating them by stanzas.  I also used all of the senses to create a more realistic feel to the poem.  The poetic devices I used were end stop for line breaks and some imagery.

I really enjoyed Quinns poem I felt the imagery was very good in his work. All of Quinns work usually jumps out at me and makes me wonder how colorful imagery really makes poems sound unique.

Quinn, Great work. the overall theme of god says alot about yourself as a person and it gives me more respect for you.I like your cycling through the seasons and how the poem covers both all of time and our experiences as people.

I like this poem a lot.  It is very orderly, going by the four seasons to describe the constant presence of God.  Your descriptive and colourful language really add to this poem, and my favorite lines were the ones describing winter.  The "frost covered world" line gives me a very clear picture of a frozen landscape.  Great effort Quinn, I look forward to reading more of your writing.
