You’re here,
but you don’t want me.
You write long-winded words
and pretentious sentences,
waiting
for someone to take your bait
and pay you back
in three wishes
of African gold,
but let me tell you,
my dear,
bait is bitter and gold is cheap,
compared with a fact,
that
my biggest inspiration is anger
and you inspire me
a lot
lately.

Loved the poem! The structure really heightened its emotion.
HAHHAHAHA…I loved reading this,,,,nice verses on your blog..keep up the very genuine work…
Thanks so much! Glad to have pit smile on your face! Will check your blog properly later!
Thanks, what a brilliant little poem!
Although perhaps it should have been “Short and (Bitter)Sweet”?
Either way I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I read the end 😉
Great stuff!
Thanks so much! Saw you flicking through my blog, means so much to me! And yes, maybe “bittersweet” suited better :):)
Anger emerges from denial of emotions, Others denial and your own, Nothing can be denied, a fully open heart. 😉
You are right. Yes you are.
This is a powerful piece of poetry
my friend and thank you for sharing it 🙂
I very much admire this poem.
Well-Structured, Precise,
Wildly Sincere, Profound, Lovely.
Glad you do. Means a lot coming from such talented one like yourself.
Beautiful 🙂
Oh, thanks so much. Nice to see you around.
“My biggest inspiration is anger” so strong! I really dig this. Great read, thank you for writing.
Thank you for hoping over my blog.
It’s not easy to write clean, evocative poems that deal in abstract concepts. You do that well here. Thanks for a poem worth reading.
Thanks for reading it and actually commenting. Im always in awe when people do that. *owl is off to check yours*
Owl: Thanks for following my old blog. Your comments are much appreciated. I’ve recently moved, and be honored to have you check out the new stuff: http://thirdcardinal.wordpress.com/
When “you inspire me” is not a compliment.
Exactly..
Short, sweet and powerful.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
In with anger, out with love
Yeah, that’s what they say, but I think it’s the other way round.
Wow, powerful. Love the strength here. Has a great flow, too. Bravo
Thanks Beth! Your feedback means so much to me! Hope all is well in the land of you..
This is my favorite of yours thus far.
Really? Wow. Thanks.
Angry Owl…
Foul Fowl…
Scowl, Scowl.
Meow.
Foul fowl indeed.
(Loved this comment of yours)
Anger can be such a catalyst for creativity and you do it so well ❤
True, right? It seems like negative emotions are always more powerful.
They fuel the fire 😉
This anger inspired feelings you have produce melodic words that somehow speak to me… I enjoy your writing style!
Thanks once again! And yes, I absolutely adore the way you write and spill your heart in your poems – very inspiring to read.
