POETRY:

Thank god

By Rich Accetta-Evans

 

Thank God, the planets don't revolve

In perfect circles round the sun.

But wander oval orbits

Far away in space.

Thank God, the axis of the Earth

Is turning tilted, like a top,

And wobbles as it spins.

Thank God, rivers never flow

In straight efficient lines

From the heights down to the sea,

But crash their way down mountainsides,

Fall over rocky cliffs,

And carve out twisting valleys where they run.

Thank God, Thank God, for all our days

And for every single creature

And each one's singular, quirky ways.

                                                                                        

Theme: This poem discuss a very important topic, that the poet wants to say that the humans must to thanks God every minute and seconds for all beautiful things that we see around us and also thank God for creating us.

Analyze: 

Repetition: Thank God is repeating of word several times.

Simile: comparison using like or as (Is turning tilted, like a top,)

(And wobbles as it spins.)
