Let’s Minichu on Dilemma 

 

Dilemma Minichu

Dilemma Minichu


kill thrill, rage unfolded?
a youth's pebbles become hollow bullets inflight
killer molded 
            
sunken, aloof
might never makes right, but blight
lone wolf   

hate ills
endemic plight 
kills!
   
kill thrill, rage unfolded?
might never makes right but blight
kills!

Anaya, your poetry is timely and on target. Assassination has changed the course of history at times, and we are lucky that the candidate was not harmed. Sad for everyone who was. The causes of this kind of thing are insidious....but could be dealt with if our leaders in Congress had the courage to deal with it.

I felt that too, Dilemma was the perfect prompt for the moment in time, or I should say history made. I really think it was divine intervention! TY

Once again you have proven that minimal is more and are always up to the challenge. Keep on keeping it real like Patrick says below. My best, Robert

Anger has never paved a great way. This is one tricky form too. You've done it nicely Anaya.

Dear Anaya, Somehow, we have been on the same wavelength for some of our poems. First, I like the style and layout, which I believe enhance your message. I fully agree that violence is a destructive force, and it is bred from anger and hopelessness. It doesn't solve problems and only leads to further suffering. Well Said! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Daniel, I'm delighted for your visit, Minichu's are quit constricted my thoughts are from my previous poem "Might Never Makes Right" mental illness and gun-out-of-control. The assailant was exposed to many guns in the home, which I think fueled and enabled his toxic intentions after mercilessly bullied. Thank you, hoping you'll get the full effects of the two poems. ;)
