Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Mad As a Hornet

Who the hell do you think you are
Being SO judgmental
You're looking down your nose at me
Acting fundamental

The "truth" that you and chastity
are both synonymous
Is really quite an travesty
It's rather quite obnoxious

Instead of throwing stones my way
Peer at a looking glass
and then if what you see's a saint
Then pelt those stones with class

for all that you accuse me of
is what you do as well
you live a life devoid of love
give others taste of hell

I'm mad; I'm mad; I'm over steamed
I'm really livid too
For you're a sinner, just like me
You know, my dear, it's true!!!

Eileen Manassian

Thanks Andrea for getting my "angry" muse to speak. Inspired after reading Andrea's entry for Mad as a Hornet Contest.

Andrea Dietrich November 24, 2015 at 10:31 AM AWesome, Eileen. You have every right to feel this way!! while mine was all joking. haha I'm going to be gone a while for holiday. But can't wait to get back and see my friends' wonderful poems! by the way, if you enter in this contest, it has to be sonnet form. All you need to do to make it that form is change last quatrain to a rhyming couplet! (oh and have 16 lines) Eileen Manassian November 24, 2015 at 1:55 PM NO....that's alright. I won't join it in the contest. I haven't been writing for contests for some time. I've been on less, but thanks for the advice. Have a good holiday, dear.

Richard Lamoureux November 23, 2015 at 9:28 AM I like the Biblical stone reference. Well done Eileen, hugs Rick. Eileen Manassian November 23, 2015 at 9:44 AM Thank you, Richard.

Demetrios Trifiatis November 23, 2015 at 7:49 AM How true your words, dear Eileen! Most of the people judge others because they have neither the wisdom nor the will to change themselves thus find it easier to criticize others! Your Muse does equally well with all feelings! Eileen Manassian November 23, 2015 at 9:45 AM Thank you, my dear poet. I take the blame when blame is due me....Others are not as forthcoming and hide the truth.
