Notes About The Poem

Quote Me Rumi

Anger is rarely locked inside me.
It gurgles from me like a stream,
not breaking like waves on shores.
But if I stay silent,
wearing displeasure
on my face, an
ocean roars
inside 
me.


“When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside” - Rumi

I have that kind of personality too Andrea. When I am very angry I am very silent. I liked your entry and I love Rumi. I really wanted to write one for this contest but ended up keeping Carissa over night and it closed before I could write one. Congratulations on your top win!
