This poem seems to be about a man of integrity who shunned the crowd that followed each other no matter what. He had his goals and stuck to them as the others mindlessly did there thing. The poem is very well composed. Message received.

I could say without mistake that this is a very progressive poem for the time it was written and answers very well the problems we are facing in the times we are living. "A non-conforming dreamer, he
did shun our social code.
With what we call absurdity,
he walked the lonely road.
Now, as we struggle in our rut,
I must say this to you-
If that man really was a nut,
send me a bag or two."
Thank you for sharing.

Is this a poem about Jesus? I loved the vague imagery that you use and even the title "A Most Uncommon Man." Awesome poem, keep writing! Looking forward to your next one.

Dear Jaybird, sorry there are no nuts in the nest. I like your poem and the homey
feel about it. I can read between the lines and see that, being a peaceful person
although non-conforming by being a poet, you stand for the beliefs inherent
in poetry.

First the poem had excellent rhyming and led us on a journey of words about a Godly man that was not beholding to no one except his beliefs. I like to think that I have many of those same qualities and I think many of us know of people you describe in your poem. Many times people like this get the cold shoulder for not conforming but in the end virtue wins out and admiration wins. I never drank or smoked or took drugs and I was in a high pressure business where drinking and recreational drugs were common place so I left early. It is difficult to hold strong to your beliefs but in the end most admire you for your beliefs as they attend AA meetings.
Excellent work.

A very strong and well written poem. The world is getting crazier by the minute! I love that you used the Judah's kiss phrase. I used it in a poem too.

I think I could use a bag or two myself. The world seems to be getting nuttier by the day. We could use more people who stay calm and unaffected by the chaos.
