For Nan (pilgrimage variety) to show I can rhyme life with something other then strife...and for other rosy reasons. You are angry I know; yet I do understand why you rage at unfairness in life. You are willing to go and make your brave stand but your anger - it cuts like a knife You are angry my dear, you should take a deep breath as against all the fates you have railed. In your fury it's clear, that you go to your death and I will then grieve - "I have failed" You are angry it's true at the way the world turns and the scars it has left on your heart. But you'll soon live in rue and you'll suffer the burns if your anger will cause us to part You are angry my child, and I stand behind you for your anger can block other pain. But your anger is wild and it slices through too and I fear I can't take this again. You are angry my love see, you moan in your sleep and your anger is held evermore. Yet the heavens above will hold you in keep when your anger can't even the score Don't be angry my dear when your bitterness grows don't be tainted by something that's vile. For the future's not clear - and the scent of a rose could help make your life feel worthwhile Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

indeed.. you rhymed it with more than strife.. Anger seeps like blood from shallow cuts clotting on your skin to mar the beauty that lies within |

no..I did not do it better at all.. your words stand on there own and are well done. my offering simply that...the thoughts your words sparked in me..and offered as a reply. I know too little of much..and often offer too simple a touch to the words I use.. you fleshed out the thoughts you had and offered them there for people to choose from, browse through and understand.. I reduced my own to a sound bite.. half enough to put into context and make meaning from... perhaps I have listened too long to political debate and news shows.. I grow weary of it all... but not of the words or the people here who share... obviously as well... the people who care. |

if your words came from an arc of electricity that moved from me to you, I am content, for you took my offering and transformed it into something wonderful. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Anger is always a two edged blade...hurting the one who is angry as much as who they are angry with...great write |

One's anger is like a knife that kills one's self. An impassioned poem that is full of wise mots. You are more than merely a fine poetess, Dear Keth, you are a fine human being. My prayers continue to be sent for you all... Love & Rainbow Lights, Linda |

Beloved one, okay I'll play too, you know how much I love to. How's this for a rosy hue of inspiration. And to prove I can do it too. X X X I’ve heard the words rage As you struggle to let them all out Yet the words I see you write on the page Don’t release your fears or your doubt You are angry dear child I’ve seen what you write When the troubles beset your soul But you’ll never be free from the dark of the night Until you accept you aren’t whole You are angry my dear And I’ll say it once more You seem to simmer with pain And until you learn the truth for sure You never be free of soul’s rain You are angry my sweet It fills up your heart With violence and words that harm I tell you the pain won’t ever depart Until you are filled with hope’s balm You are angry I see The pain and the fear Which fills your days with such dread But if you hold hope close and near The anger will be soon be dead You are angry my love It doesn’t profit you To walk all alone and afraid With hope in your soul the rose buds anew Come walk the path that’s new laid Marsha and forever Mushy    Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds but I can face the future with courage brave and bold Footprints In My Heart Kethry [This message has been edited by Marsha (09-26-2003 12:08 PM).] |

Keth, yes I acknowledge you to be the master rhymer! This poem is full of wisdom and pain. Marsha's is so great, too. I have nothing to offer you is reply. Just this:Hope limps,anger strides, pushes easy hurt aside- to face life squarely. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Kethry, you know what they say in Star Wars: "Fear leads to angry, anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to suffering" (sad sigh) Anger is what has hurt and damaged too many people, from every tragic hero from Othello to Oedipus to many nowadays! God Bless You, sweet friend, may we all live with joy and not anger, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Anger is a hard thing to deal with. I've been dealing with an unrequited crush for a week now. Thanks, this poem helped me deal with the grief for my lost one. The poem in question is called My Own Lili Marlene in the Corner Pub section. |

Yanno... if a poem like this comes about just because of rhyme stretching exercises, I'm gonna get real jealous of a certain author's abilities. *S* Excellent work... bites beautifully! |
