Anger

Neat, tidy poem with a powerful meaning. I understand what you are saying and am sure many people have had similar experiences in everyday life

Thanks, DT! It's a lesson I've learnt!

Don't worry, FC, if I were you, I'd be worried if I WASN'T depressed. You need to be depressed to become a great artist, writer or poet. I mean, look at my hero Vincent Van Gogh, or Stevie Smith, or Kurt Cobain... no, they're probably bad examples. But Spike Milligan, one of the greatest genii of the 20th century, was almost crippled by the Black Dog (as was Churchill who, I believe, coined the phrase). Cool

BTW, I think you should remove the intro to your poems, where you say:
16th November 2005
Anger
Poetry Author: Firecat
Created: 16 November 2004
Apart from the two different years, this is not necessary - indeed it seems like a part of the poem. Heed my wise advice, and you'll go far.

Hi FC
Very succinct, sharp writing and anyone who has suffered with depression will know how important letting go of the anger is.

Thanks for sharing what is a very personal poem.

small, sweet and to the point.

though i'd have liked more bare-naked vitriol, with blind intent to harm, lol, maybe that's just me, or perhaps you did write that poem and sent it to the person you talk about while the one you show us is the more reserved 'you', hehehe. Twisted Evil

Wow!

I take a night off here, then come back to find 6 new reviews on this! Thankyou all so much!! Very Happy

I was just replying and had got as far as Bedford, when by flipping back and forth I flipping lost the lot! Sad

So individually...

Sammy! Vincent once lived near here. I'm often stopped at traffic lights opposite his blue plaque.
I am no doubt influenced by Stevie Smith, as my Italian teacher at school used to read us her tragically, comically, tragi-comic poems. I notice Tsunami unashamedly uses her line "Not Waving, Drowning!" as a sign-off. Haven't heard of the other one. Confused

Spike was, of course, Manic-Depressive, which explains so much.
I will think again about posting both the GW and MW dates, but, is my poetry really so bad that you could mistake that for the first verse? Embarassed
