Notes About The Poem

Written April 29 2026

Temper Tantrum

Salty silver silence sips soul
Communicating amethyst anger

The heat fuming like red volcano
Words like white vinegar oozing 

Careful what you say during erosion 
Can cause damage explosion corrosion 

Passion painted with tar and heavy heart
Lighted ignited with precision you spark

When upset you are a ball of liquid fire
Splashing thrashing flailing failing desire

I’ve learned to navigate stay out of way
to ride the tide of your temper one more day

Very colorful writing. That's one thing I never have to worry about. I don't have temper tantrums

It's a wonderful poem. You fused adjectives in a supernatural magic that creates a single purpose demon. I fave this poetry of excellence.
