Best Aggressive Poems

holding her head still
she’s offended
her face frozen
expressionless
like she practiced
a thousand times
her teeth clenched
veins popping at her temple
she bites her lip
appalled
enraged
but not a word
poisoned darts
tucked in her pocket

Our society is breaking
Because some folks seem like taking
All their anger and aggression
Out on others as they lessen
The love and kindness we knew
I need help finding a clue
As to why some folks seem
To be cruelish, rude and mean
One emotion in their heart
Has been darkness from...

I don't want to hear,
I don't want to know.
Your life is a Soap Opera,
like a T.V. show.

Your life is a mess.
I can read the signs
but I have trouble keeping track
of my own plot lines.

No one's life runs smooth.
We all have our issues.
I needn't hear yours

puzzles puzzles
they write in rhyme 
encrypted messages
poisoned in hate
guesses in the dark
surmising
unable to say the truth
denying
hiding
play nice
yet still
there is the knife
Friendship taken for more
what awful gore
innuendos galore

the truth is out
read the encryptions
read the lines
following suit
following suit
this message
will self destruct

IN YOUR MIND

taking a class on 
being assertive with love 
I've been so confused

mixed up passive with
whimpy and aggressive with 
assertive 'til now

no wonder the life-
less devestation I've left
in my dreadful wake

passive/aggressive
is my middle name for sure
been without a clue

childhood needs unmet
caused me to rush about to
make...

not getting needs met 
leads to blinded impatience
shrink uttered to flock

but that makes too much 
sense what if our needs were met?
gift it to ourselves?

make up for lost time?
self nurturing through passion?
who else better knows?

scrapping inartful
bullying by every step 
every stop at last

the light shone...

Global warming fuels climate change;
that's why the weather is acting strange.

Pollution and deforestation;
now affects every single nation.

Our planet is becoming crowded;
folks are scared; their judgment is clouded.

Xenophobia is on the rise;
people harbor hatred in their eyes.

Everyone, it seems, is filled with rage;
we're behaving like rats...

Isn’t it fun to be passive aggressive?
Subtle and biting, rather impressive!
Fact-free and spiritually dispossessive
Use of hyperbole: deathly excessive
Squeezed that one in, somewhat digressive
Some might say that crosses to the transgressive
(Authoritatively, overexpressive)
Now, I’m just bordering on the obsessive,
Cycling up and down, manic-depressive.
Or maybe I’m battling imunosuppressives;
Time...

Cleopatra’s aggressive cat made her look mild.
Conniving and planning disaster while he smiled.
Poisoning that queen, that prince and that king.
I think we should do every diabolical thing.

We never knew his name, but he had our number.
He walked with a cat prance that had a teensy...

Silently undermining
Oh, what sneaky saboteur! 
Simmering vindictiveness
'Neath his warm veneer

I remember as a kid this one little guy
tough as nails and quick with a lie
he showed up with a shiner
but he wasn't a whiner
said he, I hit his fist with my eye...

close your eyes my doll 
don't want you to see what it  has become
don't want you to see what they've done 
don't want you to see the tears of the sun 
but most of all 
I don't want you to take the wrong impression

I will see you Thursday, she says, all settled, without my answer.
Not needing it. She sells insurance. She is pushily confident.
I cringe, want to bail, but do not want her to stay another hour or two.
I have already wasted two hours saying no to more...
