way poem #18: in anger Poem, by Frank Prem, at My poetic side

I spoke to the sky

I am ANGRY

is what I called

I am ANGRY

I shouted
from my heart

in every inflection
I placed rage

stamped my feet
hard
upon the ground

waved
both my fists
at the air
clenched
as hard as I
could hold them

OH OH
OH
how I am ANGRY

I am so angry

hear ME placid sky

is what I raged

in the corner of the sky
grew one grey tendril

curled upon itself
it boiled
in a small mist
kind of way

and grew

it writhed

it formed a bank
of cloud

grey grey
grew into a sky
that was placid
no more

it growled
grumbled

lightning flew
from out of the storm
that roared now
and

RA-RA-RA-RA-RA

even the stars had fled

even the moon

only the sun remained
as black as the bright

the sun shone
and darkness
was its preferred
colour now

I
I stood under a storm
afraid of the light spears
afraid of the roar
unable to stand
unaided

I
I looked at the maelstrom
and I
felt
gradually
a fear that flowed my way
projected by thunder
illumined by the break up
of old light

and I knew
I
had done this thing

Very powerful - This could have been called "Road Rage" as well - I can relate to anger getting out of control until you wish you could get out of it somehow.

  It's a bit grumpy isn't it? Intolerance and power, I think, go together.

  It's fun to assume the powerful position, once in a while.
  
  This is the last of these. I'll have to pop something else up, next.
