Angst

-Angst- Faces fragmented on a mirror that I broke. Bad luck wearing a cloak. Poverty was gambling with my currency. Rabid dog was running down the road: - Turtle dove cooing. "E-vil , is necessary, e-vil, is necessary". Granted-my polemic must have borders. But it was angst that had me racing down the street: - Let me not digress again today. While time is committing suicide. Give me that of which they do not - save money. Embrace the very thing i flee from. Muted cry of desperation. Gainfully busted in execution. Shoots me dead in the- middle- of -the -road.

Form would be free verse. How ironic that I clicked on this after reading your appreciated message! Most of the challenges you shared are incorporated into this 'therapy' write and, Jannie, I know all about venting and easing stress this way! I can't enjoy anyone's angst, but I did enjoy the read ... CayCay

I can feel the angst in your words; loved the images - 'time committing suicide', 'poverty was gambling with my currency'. Well done.
