Heavy Heart

by Michael D Nalley   Oct 29, 2013


When you knock at the door
make sure your hand is not heavy
even though it may be hard to ignore
the attention your neighbor may levy
Anger has seldom a reason or rhyme
worth serious injury or dying for
at the tragic scene of a senseless crime

    Judging comment:

    This poem really made me think -- the beginning gives me the strong sense of be sure not to judge as we are all a flawed people. This poem had some very serious undertones and much sadness. Locally, a cop was gunned down and it has been a tragic, tragic loss for the police force and all involved -- this poem immediately made me think of the senseless act we've watch unfold in front of our eyes, and believe it's something every one can unfortunately relate to. This poem has enough mystery to it that it can be formed into our own interpretation and I appreciate that as a reader. Very well done piece of poetry!

    Interesting poem... I was really curious about this poem.
    This line was my favorite:
    "Anger has seldom a reason or rhyme"
    ^^ this really spoke to me. Sometimes people do get angry for no reason or it is due to another reason than what the other person thinks it to be.

    I liked this poem a lot! Well done
