A meditation on pain and suffering:
This poem is in answer to the prompt at The Sunday Whirl. The words in italics are from Wordle 108, I got the words early on Facebook. You could visit that site for inspiration…
Vitriolic Outburst
I open my mouth and
Say the words that come to mind
Allowing them space
Under the blistering sun,
I will not yet be broken.
I will not cave, but
Shake my fist in defiance
Despite your constant
Drone raised against my judgment,
You will find actions binding.
I will continue
Circling subjects voicing
Chants and quiet vows
Unceasingly, using all
My force quite efficiently.
I would call you crook,
But the name is much too good
To describe you well,
You’re an absolute bully
Deserving name enemy.
My anger boils so
Riotously I cannot
Contain it within,
It overflows determined
To impact our history.

I am grateful:
1. I went to town and did our weekly shopping.
2. I picked up a Papa John’s pizza for me and Krystals for Mom.
3. Laura called and rescheduled our dinner together.
4. I talked to Richard Nichols this evening.
5. Reba called and reported on her condition. She is recovering from her surgery.
I had a reasonably good Friday, although I stayed up all night. I hope you also had a good day. While you have a few moments, concentrate your energy on doing some creative work. I know you have the ability if you only set your mind to it. Your skill will grow with practice and inspiration will find you if you make a consistent effort.
As a prompt, write about a situation or person that maddens you. I find this is a great stress reliever. Leave a link to your poem, story, or journal entry in the comments below.
