Return to Sender

by Michael D Nalley   Mar 24, 2006


We are delivered from demons when we desire to
Move toward the truth of which we aspire to

No message of hope should ever be exempted
For every solitary soul has been tempted

To veer from the visible route we know will progress
While in secret we wander from the word we digress

I think we shall some day receive what we render
The letter of the law is return to sender

    I liked the smooth flow of this and I liked the unusual choice of words. It sorta all just slips off the toungue, enjoyable to read.

    Companion must be your greatest gift.I can feel it in your "idea" structure. The outcome of every poem either has fact or fiction. Yours are niether. Subtle is substance. Love your work.

    Short, yet still powerful. You ended the poem nicely.

    Since most of the poems I've read from you were religious, I'm assuming this one is too, but not in your face believe this or that. Short but powerful words. The rhyming seemed to flow well, a change from the occasional forced rhymes from some people here. And it just seemed true but at the same time maybe our own interpertation of it. I did think that the fact you had to at the end of the first two setences might have thrown off the rhyming balance a bit, not that it was bad. The poem in itself was wonderfully written.
