Grumpy's Return Volley

If very hard read, 
take the log from your eye - 
or perhaps it's the wrong creed
meriting such custard pie.  

Language archaic? 
Well so what if it scans 
Neither Norse nor Aramaic, 
I'm certain most understand.  

A trifle obscure? 
My due consternation! 
Still … are you certain 'it's ... sure ...
not poor imagination? 

Leave critical muck.
Produce own Odyssey
Rather than to be stuck
In morass of jealousy.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
