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.

CayCay Godwin October 28, 2016 at 9:36 AM 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 Jannie Breedt October 28, 2016 at 12:10 PM Hi Cay Cay. Iam soooo frustrated because i cannot reas the stuff you sent me on inbox.
