Nature's Gauntlet

 Rain pours,

Like nature's tears,

Mourning for those,

Lost through the years.

 Wind,

Rain,

Fire,

Snow,

Nature's gauntlet,

It's not a show.

 It's no joke,

Nature rules,

Try to fight it,

And you'll get schooled.

Author's Note

Constructive criticism would be much appreciated!

Each reader gleans from poetry an identification founded in their experiential base as it may relate to a particular piece. For this reader, theme sets the stage and then the words do the work, to take the reader where the poet would like to go. When these two (theme and words) are in sync a story unfolds which has the opportunity to leave a more lasting impression. The poet must ask him/her self; have I accomplished what I set out to? and if I did, was the presentaton its best?
Or not, to both questions.

Criticism? OK.. last stanza is clumsy
Suggest something along the lines of ..."It's no joke/Nature rules,/Disagreements (or Altercation) /Meant for fools"

What a cute poem! It really explained nature's prowess over the Earth. I like to see more of these. Lessons are also carried out. Amazing!

Constructive criticism? It's perfect. Don't change a thing. Wonderful flow, perfect beat and rhythm. This is about as good as it gets. Is that constructive enough? Great work.
