OUTBURST
Arrayed in guise of temperament
a savage burst of anger wells,
its tapers kindling discontent
propelling into fires that burn
to claim dominion of the mind.
But as the deflagration dies,
amid the ashes of abstraction,
unremitting thoughts are forged
in self-fulfilling prophecies.

My last post for a week or so - hope you like it.
See you when you get back. Very thoughtful poem. Lovely painting, too.
Thanks so much WBL - I love abstract paintings which make you use your noddle (brain) and so it is with poetry. I love work which although not totally abstract is sufficiently so to challenge the reader and make him (her) think, anyway that's what this is intended to do.
Have safe travels!
The Outburst is fittingly appropriate for the moment. Safe trip.
Thanks Augustus
I see the "Outburst" in your painting and the "abstraction" in your verse. Wonderful together and separate. Enjoy your break, filled with inspiration hopefully. - Phil A.
