The only critique I would offer would be the repeated "sky" in lines 3 and 5. I don't know how it might be re-worked, but as far as a poem goes (for which I have no expertise whatsoever), it's pretty good.

I thought this was going to be a different kind of thread, and going to snarkily post the following poem, which suddenly is strangely appropriate:

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

'Bringing earth to the heavens' works better.

My English degree is kicking me for forgetting who wrote the poem you posted.

Blood in the urine.
A tingling down the left arm.
Walk it off, Grandma.

It really is. The understated end is beautiful, just what a satisfied god would say about his creation.

If it was me, I might experiment with taking out some of the "the"s. "Bringing earth to sky" or "Sunflower in cracked asphalt" or any of the others. I like it as it is but imo that ups the emotional punch.

I truly like it a lot.

You're right, it pares it down, making the imagery stronger

and thank you for the complement. My friend just moved and has been doing some very helpful and thoughtful things for me while I've down on my luck (lent some money, bought my cat booster shots out of the blue.)
I wanted to do something for her in thanks, and since I can't buy anything cuz I'm broke, I thought that this might be a nice house warming gift

thanks again

peace,
Noodleboy

Hope your luck improves mightily and soon. Not a lot of money in poetry, but it is good for the soul!
