Hate's Fury

Hate’s Fury


It’s horrid

prompts the worst action—

vile anger

blood boils hot

a true mindless impulse that

wounds the soul deepest

Hey Lyric Man!! Many Thanks to you for dropping by and taking a read of my latest Shadorma poem. I am pleased to hear too that my author's notes hit the mark for you. Most usually I do notes with each of my poems. I do this to inform the reader about the poem, and as an audit trail of sorts for each poem I develop and see through to completion. Thanks Again and Best Wishes Always, Gary

Your last line sums up the affects of hate perfectly Gary. This is so insightful and gives pause to those who have felt such anger. Brilliant! : )

Hello Connie, Thanks for your comment and observations here!! Hate and all of the negative aspects of it and ramifications from it, is not a good course to follow at all. (We have enough of it in our present day world!!) I'm very pleased that you found my poem here to be Brilliant!! With that comment, I feel at least I am doing something right with my poetic verse work!! Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary

Thanks Heidi for your very observant comment here. As bad as both Hate and Fury, separate or together, are -- they are exactly what they are. It's always better to embrace the positive side of things. Amen!! Cheers and Best, Gary
