angels, sometimes

still nervous, no excuses

The angel of the Lord

sent me a message

the other day.

 

     Call your true love

     and learn ESP.

 

But willful child that I am

 

I politely declined

 

for one reason and another.

 

 

Who am I to follow direction

without question?

Is there room for growth here? Yes. Does it require any apology as it stands? Not one bit. (Think of this as a "Donald Rumsfeld review" to this point). This could have been angry in tone, and it would have hit the ground with a thud. As is, it's winsome, almost playful (the notion of one of the Lord's angels beseeching you to "learn ESP" is borderline comic), which is (in my view, anyway) the perfect note to strike here.

come to think of it, four years later, He was right . . . in a roundabout way

[Zachary_James]

Absolutely loved this, great work this made me smile.

[Donald Meikle]

Next time She tells you what to do, if she ever does, call me. My ESP is getting taxed next year.

[Gypsy Dreamweaver]

LOL! Being able to read your true love's mind would scare the bejesus out of me!! Very well done Emily. It is always a pleasure to read you work.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Call me and let me know when you and your true love can read one another's minds if you are still speaking to one another. Inquiring minds and all that... (laughing) (((hug)))

[Kenneth The Poet]

This made me chuckle. Lovely work.

[Dane Osborne]

That's right no excuses. You don't have to make excuses for this. This is a beautifully concise and ethereal piece of writing. You're a real poet and have nothing to be ashamed of with this. Well done.

[Leslie Philibert]

Like the way the first verse leads to the ironical... learn ESP.A clever and witty poem.the kind of poetry that always makes it worthwhile to look at your work.
I`m a fan.Great.

[Everett DeValle]

LOL...Witty. Even if we get the message in front of our faces...we still don't believe it.
