Your poem expresses the danger in an uncontrolled anger. It is self destructive and potentially ruins friendship. I can not agree less, dear Rick. Well done, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Excellent selection for this contest. The middle stanza feels a bit weaker than the others but not enough to change the overall enjoyment of the poem or give the impression that any major changes are needed. It works as is

    Thank you for the review, Helps a lot and tells me to keep writing. The only person I have been angry with has been myself at times in the past. As a Veterinarian any patient that died unexpectedly made me angry, what I should have done better. Glad to say few and far between.

This is a great poem. You nailed anger and all it's ugly heads. Nothing good comes from anger. The only thing it does is eat you alive. Sometimes, you have to be the bigger person and walk away.

Great job

Cecilia

Your poem here is a plea to let the anger go. There's an honest voice here, and emotion in it. Let's heed the advice and let go of the vitriol. I have read some poems here today that seem intent on fanning the flames of the vitriol. estory

I love how your poem shows anger and its impact on a person's soul. I like you share the idea of letting go of anger. Encouraging us to focus on the good instead - there's something really calming in that message. Keep up the great work!

Anger never serves any purpose and only causes tension and nothing is resolved when someone loses their temper. I was once on a flight when a man lost his temper with his wife when she wanted to get the sandwiches out of the case in the overhead locker! A simple request, but it turned into all out war on the flight. I was sat opposite the couple and the man behaved so badly. His wife was patient and was obviously used to this display of temper. I felt sorry for her. I enjoyed your poem, love Dolly x x x

I really like what you have written here, anger is not an emotion we should pursue, but we should find an outlet for it or as you say it will destroy us, very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot
