Content: anger

Summary:

A poem about the sadness of life and the regrets of anger. Each poem I write has something to do with the moment in which it was written. This one was written in about fifteen minutes after the event of outburst anger when four unbelievable events came together at the same time hitting me with hopelessness. So most of my poems are of a personal reflection nature and mainly invoked by my emotional state at the time of writing. I'm just trying to put out a set of different poems from different states of mind to see what it invokes in the reader...

Summary:

This work is an attempt to explore the emotions and questions that arise from human tragedy. It raises the questions, but not the answers. While the questions raised are specific to a situation, similar questions are eventually asked by all. //God is defined in the broadest sense--and I hope it causes thoughtful introspection only. There is also a bit of "Eastern Philosophy" in this, as we are all affected by our experiences--and I spent 19 years in Japan and four of my seven children were born there.// A thought to consider; mustn't God loves us all?(regardless of our specific religion, or lack thereof). This is the first in a the first in a series of poems designed to provoke thought.

I entered this story in a competition a couple of weeks ago. If you don't place or win in the competitions, you don't get feedback. I want to learn from the feedback. This is my second attempt at writing, so I still get nervous submitting my stories. I hope you enjoy this!

I apologize to animal lovers in advance for this tale of unmitigated violence. This is pretty rough and I welcome any comments. And really, I'm kind to animals and other living creatures as well.

Summary:

My writing penchant is humour, so this one is unusual for me, but had to be written. Whether I should have posted it on tNBW is another matter. I find the saturation promotional advertising of up-coming tv programs to be extremely irritating. One in particular that was doing the rounds really p'd me off. As I lay in bed one night trying to sleep I got quite incensed. I could not sleep until I had grabbed my laptop computer and wrote down what was bounding around inside my skull. This is the result.

Summary:

I've often politely requested of people to refrain from saying something in front of me that offended me. For this I've been called names, almost fired and nearly hit in the head with a hammer. Words can definitely hurt is a universal truth. Another universal truth is that hypocrisy sucks. This is dedicated to two men.
