What You Will FInd Here ...

Join me in my celebration of life and language through poetry. You will find no hint of literary snobbery here. Much like our beloved English ... THIS poet is very much alive, fun-loving, growing and changing!

An Angry Man


"Anger" by Charles Le Brun  c.1660

there was an angry man
born of an angry clan
all his kin were angry
ere since time began

he lived an angry life
he even took a wife
eventually she left him
for she craved peace; not strife

his angry days drew to a close
yet even in his final throes
his seething, raging, anger boiled
he found no rest in death’s repose

he ended up in angry hell
you must admit, it’s just as well
for anger's burning cancer kills
when invited by a soul to dwell
