L Milton Hankins Poet Dizain

An Angry Poet

White is the color of the pristine page
Awaiting words from an angry poet,
Soon defiled by inexplicable rage
Surely intentional s/he did show it,
Living forever words of this dimwit
Making of the page a blackened abyss
Devoid of kindness, enviable bliss,
Expressing instead the venomous ply
Delivered like traitorous Judas's kiss
On internet page that will never die.

Caren Krutsinger January 17, 2022 at 3:37 AM This is sadly what some do "Devoid of kindness, enviable bliss, Expressing instead the venomous ply" I am thrilled I have not been the recipient of this meanness. L Milton Hankins January 17, 2022 at 9:04 AM Oh, well...it is to be expected, I suppose. When we put our thoughts out there before the public, we have to be open to whatever the responses, I think. This wasn't written about anyone in particular, but I suppose it could apply to those folks.

Jan Allison January 15, 2022 at 3:31 AM Excellent ink and that final line speaks volumes Milton, people don't realise that once something is posted, even if its later removed the info remains in the ether forever, I smiled at the form you used - should be 'disdain' lol:-) so good to have you back hugs Jan xx L Milton Hankins January 15, 2022 at 8:06 AM Thanks so much, Jan. As you well know, "dimwit" could also be "pidiot!" I am glad you liked this poem; I rather liked it myself, but then I'm so biased!

Deb M January 14, 2022 at 8:16 PM Well written poem Milton….I like it! Aimed at anyone in particular? Debx L Milton Hankins January 15, 2022 at 8:11 AM Oh my! Of course not, Deb. Can you think of anyone it might apply to? Okay, seriously, I can think of some, but it wouldn't be prudent to mention them by name, right?
