L Milton Hankins Poet Monorhyme

Unresolved Anger

Some folks say unresolved anger causes depression
We know unresolved anger is a cause of aggression
Well, I’m here to make this unsolicited confession,
I would be a strong candidate to lead the procession
But first I want you to consider this little concession --
When depression subsides, I consider it a progression
For things always look up with a new upbeat accession,
A new attitude, peace of mind, and hope in possession
I’m exhibiting a new, welcome, and positive expression,
If only I could bottle and sell it as a cure for oppression!

Bj Legros Kelley April 25, 2022 at 2:20 AM Nice, there must be an outlet somewhere. I found your poem uplifting...and clever! ~BJ L Milton Hankins April 25, 2022 at 9:02 AM Thank you so much for your read and your comment, BJ.

Tom Cunningham April 24, 2022 at 11:15 PM Better to find an outlet rather than let it fester inside you. If you could bottle the cure you'd be a very rich man indeed. Tom L Milton Hankins April 25, 2022 at 9:03 AM Unfortunately, you can't bottle feelings, but it would be wonderful if we could. I'd sell optimism, happiness, peace, and a lot of joy.

Gershon Wolf April 24, 2022 at 8:13 PM Love the way you turned anger - depression around to work for you, Milt. Great idea! And so resonant. Here's to uplift! ~ Gershon L Milton Hankins April 25, 2022 at 9:04 AM Thanks, gw. It's not good to let negative feelings fester.
