'common courtesy you use' transposed verbs are really a sign that the poet hasn't put in the required effort, as BWC said a few poems up, it makes one of Yoda think.
I would name it just a rhyme
if it were somehow one of mine.
It's difficult to handle an issue like this effectively in a form like this, but I think you've done well.
I feel like she has thanked God for all his blessing,
and she is pleading with him not in prayer, but in faith.
All she is asking God is to keep her strong in her faith, because she does'nt want to go back to those evil ways.
Do you think if you were more polite to your sons, they'd stop being self-obsessed Neo-Nazis?
Some of this grammar is a mess. In special need of changing:
"Grant now my petitions For which I make claim"
"All those lofty ideals Iâve kept With passion for religion As tools for advancement"
"As Your Word admonishes I now beseech"
there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in Meatpie.
All 4 of my sons are wonderful. The oldest is 21 and has been in IRAQ since March, the youngest is 10.
They have done & will do things that I don't agree with just as I have done things that they don't agree with, bu I have never called them "self-obsessed Neo-Nazis"
Flop-o-Rama! Need I score more?
Yah. Needs another stanza to clue us in just a little more. Readjustment from container living must be hard. I now have some O'Hara with me. Can I have the combination please? He's giving me fits.

The funny thing is; I tried to write a good Awful Love Poem. It turned out an awful Good Love Poem.
Funny. And excellent. And true.
Amusing, but not poetry.
Not anything I can enjoy, sorry.
Actually eagles try not to shadow over prey until after they have got their talons into it because the shadow is a warning to the prey.
humm, naked but filling
Funny. More commas would help, like after "shits" in the second line. And "beercans"? well, drop it.

Here's a link for a view on the 'artful' treatment.

I admit, it's a rather poor Stonehenge... I just learned that more damage was done to it in 1995, by arsoning. It's a nice example of contemporary man, getting his kicks; destroy, destroy, destroy.
Good, except for long-limbed pulley.
