Youthful Anger Brought Hard Brutality

Youthful Anger Brought Hard Brutality Gone are my days of great vitality I wallow in ways of humanity Hot rays are proof of my volcanity My delays are full of profanity Lonely nights sometimes comes insanity These bad sights, a curse of urbanity My plights come from sad, sad mentality Found no rights on days of inanity Great danger was losing morality No stranger now to this reality Youthful anger brought hard brutality Game changer stopped a fatality Now old age brings loathsome mundanity Lost rage much needed formality January 22nd, 2017 Form: Sonnet 10 syllables For SilentOne's new contest using 14 pre-selected words...

A monorhyme sonnet! I think, that, "youthful anger" got the best of a lot of us. I can do "mundane" it keeps me out of trouble:) Another well written sonnet, my friend.

Yes it does my friend. The more mundane , the more peaceful it is.. Yet youth is for adventure and exciting times of discovery! And that is why most of my mistakes and anger held the high ground back then.. lol

Once my friend, I was a wild mustang rampaging across the prairie. Youthful bravado and mistakes(primarily romantic ones) were my trademark.. Thankfully I survived and learned better.
