Your lines perfectly describe the way I see someone's anger, the idea of the erupting volcano is very good.
Thank you for sharing and good luck for the contest.

This is such a sad poem as it is the reality of the breakdown of communication in relationships and marriages, holding feelings inside over periods of time and builds up and up, 'a dormant volcano' until it becomes toxic and ready to explode. Very well written, thanks for sharing.

Wow! Your poem is wonderfully crafted. You capture the intensity of her anger and the destructive power of her emotions. The metaphor of anger as a dormant volcano is especially effective. You do a wonderful job of sharing a sense of something powerful and uncontrollable simmering beneath the surface. That said, the progression from simmering to eruption is perfect. I thought the destruction of the home they had built together was sad. But perfect in bringing this all together. This was a wonderfully crafted poem that shares the raw emotion of her experience. This poem stands out which is why I'm giving it six stars. Well deserved!

This poem definitely show a lot of emotion and should do well in the emotional poetry contest. People show hold on to their emotions for a long period allow it to build until at some poem it erupts in such a way the damage it does is beyond repair.

This poem represents anger in an amazing way. Intense imaginary makes us see the eruptions happening as though happening now. This a great poem in which many people can look up too. Good job!!

Great visuals with your strong word choices--simmered, sizzled, steamed. I can feel the emotion running through your poem, the tension before blowing up. Amazing and well done. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a great metaphor. I love that you used a volcano to represent her angry eruption. When anger remains dormant for a while, it often erupts rather forcefully with just a slight provocation. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

The scripture: A wise woman builds her house. But a foolish woman, tears it down with her own hands. That seems to be the case with Mrs. Molten Hot. Wonderfully crafted and illustrated for the emotions contest. I felt it.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.
