Temper Whispers-SHM

Listen to poem:
Written: November 17, 2023 For Charles Messina Contest ___________________________________________ In peace of mind and unwavering pride Draw out your inner disgruntled callow Expunge ailing masks and set them aside Shackled and phony leaches start shallow Untamed freedom leaves a rage of delight Lightning strikes when volition avails reign As the noise of fists and yells echoes fight It implies launching rough assaults again This momentary gladness won't last long Dark distress derides its way to the fight And celebrates its mocking with zest strong Frenzied fractured fragments into full-sight Constraintis like an itch that chafes the mind Shields the vile impulse that we must all bind gladness won't last long expunge ailing masks aside~ untamed freedom roars. Shackled leeches start shallow, rage of lightning strikes~constraint chafes the mind

Very creative, my friend. A sonnet then a 5/7/5 then a Monoku to finish it off. I'm impressed! Good luck in the contest! Bill
