Notes About The Poem

Rancor

Reductive and straight face.

                                   Rage makes things even worse.

                                           Revolting memories.  

                                         Recalled in a snide way.

                                            Ruin a healthy bond.

                                      Rough stark uses harsh taunt.

                                           Razed venom of racism.

Nice one, Lasaad. Certainly a strong contender in the contest. I liked the theme, especially, and how ever "R" word seethes.
