A mad senior gray haired granny lady wearing cat eye glasses, pearls and curlers in her hair in an old fashioned yellow kitchen standing holding a rifle. Home defense. Mature woman angry face stock images, royalty-free photos and pictures

Apprehension a nasty culprit Putters outside my window, that mud pit Pulls, tugs, draws inward Rushing towards scared vineyard Emotions fresh, newly healed over Hoping to not once again spillover Every time my being is hit Nudged to stir emotions by some half-wit Somehow, they stick in the knife and turn Impale the tender taciturn Opening the door to boiling emotions Notions leave, fill me with Holy Spirit's devotions

You are smiling as you said that line. LOL..I don't know if you mean the picture or Apprehension. Maybe it is neither. Thanks for the visit. I got a chuckle and as laughter is the best medicine, I feel the healing process start. Sara K

Your awesome poem sure does a fine job of conveying the needles and pins feelings of apprehension. Have a great week. :)

This is a God send. I'm learning to be silent, because rage hurts my heart. I know that one day I will be a silent old man. And will only speak when asked. But for right now; This piece reminds me of myself. Currently Turning the other check, And forgiving and forgetting. Soup mail.

Yes, keeping emotions bottled up helps destroy our health. We have to have means of venting that doesn't involve holding it in nor hurting another person or pet. LOL..There are times I vent on the other person who is hurting me but I mostly try to not react in a negative way. Thanks for the visit. God does not tell us to forget but only to forgive. We will remember what has happened to us in a negative form for a longgggggggg time. We can forgive and keep remembering but not with all the negative emotions attached. Sara K

a delightful and entertaining Acrostic, Sara K. You're right...apprehension is a nasty culprit...seems like it's strength comes from its lurkiness. Faving...wishing you a blessed evening, Sara
