Wow! Nice one there!

I am an avowed athiest. But you manage to put your beliefs over in a beautiful way: your choice of words; the structure. This is a rare example of perfection. With respect Denis Joe

A wonderful hymn-like poem that stirs the soul with vivid images of conflict resolution and redemption. A wonderful poem to read on this day of all days.

A humbling and thought provoking piece.

Incredible is right, all of his poems are pretty incredible. You ought to by his book(s) . And no one listened when I suggested he be invited for our book.... Best H

'The Road Not Taken' would have been best, perhaps. The middle stanza is very arresting. Be well, Kelly.

Max Reif, thank you for your kind words. 'Best Not Taken' is a poem that you must intellectually power yourself through. It will mean something different to each reader, which is the style and context in which it was written. Regards, KAV

I find some really inspired language, especially in the last stanza. For some reason, I don't yet get a clear picture from the first lines. If you have time, I'd love a note explaining your title to (possibly, very dense) me. I can understand if you don't have time. God be with you over there on this Veterans Day and all days!

You have an incredible poem here, good work!

I am not a religious person but this was so beautiful and made me feel as if I was sitting listening to an old-time gospel preacher....It was very touching.

very intellectual poem. love this kelly.
