golden sun, ivory orb

As blessed as sky with golden sun

Crystalized by ivory orb

The bounty nigh of harvest's reward

Withholding naught less drought bestow

As ancient law precedes judgment's call

Clouds full gathered predicting rain

Although we'd rather harmonize sweet refrain

We've packed our things, now time we go

Avail waited sentence, defendant's claim

Declared true harmony, nature's accord

Along golden Sun, heaven's ivory orb

And all else in equity beneath earthly dome

Each witness waited like patient land mine

Behind quiet expressions until their time

Counting blessings each could afford

Graced by golden sun and ivory orb

Stirred night sky each passing breeze

Foreboding verdict in media magazine

Printed faces held fast to concrete floor

Tomorrow's news passed silently

A captivating poem about- I am assuming- the consequences of our refusal to acknowledge the natural beauty around us.
A beautiful subject, and a beautiful poem to boot.
Title drew me in, and the crafted diction kept me invested. I would say to create a more steady rhythm, but I know that's hypocritical, given my own poetry…
I'd love to know what you're inspiration to create this was, and if the last stanza had anything to do with it.
Great job! :D

Intriguing nature poem, sometimes our fate is in its grasp. I really like that second stanza best.

Quite refreshing... I'm quite fed up with romance and this theme has sparked my interest. I like your wordplay, Xavier. Keep it up!

Your imagery and style are spot on as always ...
