A Societal Love Poem
An avalanche has started
there's cold ice, all around;
all the shards, that have fallen
have found solace...on the ground.
And, the bitterness that blinds me
as I try, to see ahead;
reminds me, I'm not worthy
no matter, what's been said.
I thank God for the lessons
I've been allowed, to learn;
let me be, a good example
if it ever, is my turn.
And, for my odd behaviour,
I must apologize;
but, that whimsical demeanor
is what's help me realize;
that, we're supposed to run, and play
in the grace that God has shown,
and share a love so perfect
more than any love, we've known.

I like the content, but it
I like the content, but it sounds choppy when you read it with so many commas. Maybe get rid of some?

for some reason this poem reminded me of the Billy Thorpe song
"Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy)"

I love it's combination of self-reflection and whimsy.

Yeah the commas
disrupt what would otherwise be a beautifully flowing piece, one filled with wisdom and good rhythm.
I would like to see this one bereft of all commas, just to see where it would take the cadence.
A good write, close to being most excellent.
