Anger is rarely locked inside me. It gurgles from me like a stream, not breaking like waves on shores. But if I stay silent, wearing displeasure on my face, an ocean roars inside me. “When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside” - Rumi Written 12/1/2015 for the Contest of Silent One

I have that kind of personality too Andrea. When I am very angry I am very silent. I liked your entry and I love Rumi. I really wanted to write one for this contest but ended up keeping Carissa over night and it closed before I could write one. Congratulations on your top win!

Good work using the quote..Reads like a winner to me..Way to go..The nonet is a good form for carrying the idea..Thanks for stopping by..China will have to put in environmental safeguards which is going to drive the price of goods up..We here need to start up manufacturing again so that we will be able to be self supporting again..Sara
