No Anchor For Rancour

Listen to poem:
vexed to gall no anchor for rancour remains no safe harbor for grudges on crutches nor bitterness born of regret's aftertaste for we agreed to differ, with our bygones forgone to move on to settle on a calmer, sheltered shore, where rancour's chains and anchors hold fast no more and we'll ride out the tempest with sails lee-bowed or on ashore let it be, let it be, let the rancour be done!

Block poet from commenting on your poetry
Agreed: Rancor is ranker when unanchored. Did I get that right?! Smiles, Gershon
