Greetings, fellow poets and writers! My school is having a poetry competition and I would love to enter a poem I wrote called “The Sky Realm.” If you have a chance, I would greatly appreciate thoughts and critiques. The deadline is in about two weeks. 🙂 Thank you!

The Sky Realm

Have you ever mapped the endless sky,
Or stood upon its clouds?
Have you seen its gilded realm,
And measured out its bounds?

Have you watched its fleet of tow’ring ships
Surmount the stormy winds?
These moon-chasers, sun-wakers,
Are every dreamer’s friend.

Perhaps the sky-king’s snowy-white hall
Has captured your delight,
Where the sunset’s lambent hearth
Glows red with firelight.

When the heavens weep for joy and grief,
Its storerooms overflow
With the sky-realm’s precious goods
Of ice and rain and snow.

The kaleidoscopic arc painted
In every hue of light,
Shows the brushstrokes of a king
That make your dreams take flight.

No mortal artisan’s crowing work
Could ever be compared
To the beauty that our God
Has painted everywhere.
