Anticipation that seems to be more a gift than the package awaited. This hunt seems far more interesting than the expected catch. You are very good in twisting the mind around subjects, and making a reader wonder off into mental forests. Great adventures, Jude, thanks for this.

whatever it might be i'm sure the one it's given to will welcome it. a more tender and earthy side of the poet. enjoyed.

I'm sure it will be whatever you make it, whatever you want it to be! The giver will always offer out of the bounty by which they themselves have been inspired, so it probably depends on whether your spirit and souls are sourced in the same treasure-store...

It's like sailing into smooth waters after rough seeing you post "romantically" again, Kartero. It feels good and safe. A timely revival of pink-tinged feelings, delivered healthily alive and kicking. Pure joy to be-hold, to be-held.

"Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night shall stay these carriers from swift completion of their appointed rounds"; the postman in your neck of the woods has yet work to do, obviously! :)) Lovely prevailing mood and atmosphere to this and the frisson of anticipation palpable. Deferred gratification is the sweetest, but perhaps Christmas will come soon! Kourier Kate xx

Jude I love it when you show this gentle side. No doubt it will be special.

Awesome package of imagination.

you always special deliver your verse Robert...........

It's all on how we intend on arriving. Life's boxing tape dispenses a length according to the size of the "special delivery" package...FedX, UPS, or Angel...confirmation is sweet, tracking number for tracing its whereabouts, it may just be lost for a while or it might be lost for eternity...we need a special delivery to keep us in the good graces of the blueprint, the design needs to learn from our mistakes so we can build a better package...

I love the meaning of this metaphorical creation, Jude. Very nicely done. Love and peace,

Regis

A beautifully romantic poem that tittilates my curosity, would love to know how it arrived;-)

Jude, quite the romantic you are. Bubble wrap or lace? No contest. Perhaps you will receive both? May peace joy and love be with you mu friend. Jon Michael

there is so much to love in this, subtle gentle energy specially delivered...well done

Either one sounds like a real treat. Well penned. J'nia

Tender and beautiful, Jude, both in concept and delivery. I love the way this poem reaches me.

"congested network of prayers and dreams"-- well said, jude.

Truly beautiful work, Jude...nothing else needs to be said.

Almost like a forever wish that has finally come full circle, very endearing...

Be always safe,
Karen

Ahhh this so feels to me like finally finding our way back to that one love that was once so very magical, wondering how different everything might be with so many years gone by. Though we wish that we could revisit that situation with the wide-eyed innocence we had way back then, we know it cannot be possible; life is a wonderful and cruel teacher. So we hope that there will at least be a warmth or a piece of it all that will allow us to feel that magic one more time. My take on this seems so different from the other's comments, but poetry being subjective, you drew me to this place. This is a stunning beauty, Jude, much like the vapor memories your express.
Take care,
Sherry

Well done my friend, crisp and unique and with a style all it's own your work delivers...

Bob, this one I can identify with, seems we might be waiting for a "special delivery" from God or someone/something higher up in the belief chain...e

Pony Express
Would have been best.
Where the riders rode with their hair blowin' in the wind
Colt 45 next to their shootin' hand.
Always on the look-out for trouble in the desert sand.
They dreamed of lace alright
With garter belts on a little too tight!
It's what kept them hoofin' it through the night.
<all in fun Jude> <our postal service can be a joke at times>

Jude,
"Special Delivery" is an amazing poem..It brings me toward the mystical, of a long lost love that has gone away, somewhere in the universe.
The reader (me) gets the feeling that somehow through dreams, feelings have been stirred up and energy is felt..A powerful force inspired this one...I wish for your poem to be that "special delivery" to be delivered whole and intact so that the receiver shall get your message loud and clear. Dreams are amazing vehicles to our mental health...Let this one encourage your dreaming and creativity so that we can benefit from your amazing poetry!!!!

As always you leave me breathless with your work..

Much peace, light and love,
Amber

Unique in concept, which is your hallmark, with an ending that gives it charm.

Either one will be wrapped in style and grace.

How about a kiss from Marilyn--warm her lips up first.

Ron

Love the ending. Love the poem. Write on my friend.

i love this. beautiful touch jude. the best word to sum up your poetry is DEEP. like submersible deep, one can just fall and fall and fall hoping to reach bottom. but in every bottom is a trap-door. and then it goes even deeper. fantastic.

This is dear ~ Full of subtlety and charm!
Blessings,
Christine

Such gentleness posted. Like the Velveteen Rabbit, it will be so special, no matter how frayed. :D This one touched me.
