Lin Lane Poet Imagism

Can'T Take Much Mo

I could pound her head against a brick wall
or find some modicum of logic to install
but those would probably do no good at all
for she is filled with bitter anger and gall

Do these words portray someone you know
If I could change her attitude, I'd make it so
the world would have a much brighter glow
hold me back cuz I can't take much mo!

I've seen a few others who tried enlightening
but her mind is closed, her heart tightening
her audacity flashes like forked lightning
she's so churlish and stubborn, it's frightening

Freddie Robinson Jr. May 15, 2017 at 3:27 PM Love this sassy yet gritty honest poem, Lin. I love the vibe of the down-to-earth lingo. It's a classic ... a 7+ and a fave. Poetry on the cool side. Hot words dipped in the pool of truth-don't-lie. 100 degrees burn notice. Bulls-eye poetry, your pointed pen don't miss. This poem rocks! Love and hugs, dear.

Maurice Yvonne May 4, 2017 at 9:33 AM Love this poem. I think those are the only people I know. I am constantly placating those around me. People are more important than opinions so as long as it isn't against my core values I remain silent or at least co-operative. Also love your ease with the language and the melodic flow of your write. Impressive to say the least. Lots Of Love, armand. Lin Lane May 4, 2017 at 11:41 AM I do so adore your lovely compliments. Thank you so very much.

Tim Smith May 3, 2017 at 4:30 PM It is a trait of a silent ego as well...I've heard rumors Lin Lane May 3, 2017 at 4:36 PM aha, Tim. It could apply to anyone with an ego...silent or outspoken. Thanks for the input.

Chris Green May 3, 2017 at 3:50 PM I know a few people like this, male and female. Stubborn and closed minded. You have expressed your angst well my friend. Lin Lane May 3, 2017 at 3:53 PM I suppose I should just shake the dust from my feet and walk away. I think I will. Thanks for your compliment, Chris.

Jan Allison May 3, 2017 at 3:46 PM Gosh she sounds like a stubborn mule Lin! Unfortunately some folks just can't accept that other people have an opinion and they may not always be right in their own:-(hugs Jan xx Lin Lane May 3, 2017 at 3:51 PM More's the pity for those like her. Sympathy is hard to give, but I'm to believe there's hope for everyone.
