Beautiful Rage. You see, you are fuming with madness and want to say nothing short of an insult but you decide to write instead. However, it's your natural ability as a poet to invite some beautiful words in, and with them comes the lovely rhythm. In short, can you write a lovely un-rude poem to express something that is downright rude? Tag it with #beautifulrage
Up Against a Blank Page
I soak in the darkness of empty phrases
mighty tempest dwelling in my head
skies opening to storms that rage
unharnessed fury of mind in a cage
awareness tumbling in staggering words
solemn ink spatters verses on blank paper
unsteady rhymes fall off my edges
shell burst of fury leaving remnants behind
impaled on pen, unspoken verbs thrust forth
tears of blotted shadows leave no traces
ripped pages, one bleeding word at a time
empty mirrored thoughts echo despair
inscribed messages escape from the storm
sentiments unfolding, crackling in wind
voiceless wordsmith pens ivory words.
