Notes About The Poem

8/13/2024 for Let's Get Emotional - Personification In a Sicilian Quitain Stanza Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

I am Anger

I boil and seethe inside my owner's head.
For release, your collar, I'll have him seize.
I'll make him yell and scream and tear and shred. 
He'll spit, "next time you make a sandwich, please - 
do cut on the diagonal, instead".

Oh nice!! I can see anger doesn't have a hold on you for humor won't allow it! I knew I liked you! Awesome poem David! Xo

oh my, those last two lines were so funny. I didn't give this first place, only because it seemed too specific to a certain person. Congrats in my contest

I'm more than happy to get 2nd Andrea! I kind of had a vague notion that I wasn't really personifying the emotion, as showing it in a specific person. I might have been remembering my normally good-natured son when he was 3 years old getting mad because I didn't prepare his toast right. He only got that way when he needed a nap.
