Best Temper Poems

During the night the heavy storm came.
Lashing rain and winds that were wild.
By morning, gone, and now weather tame.
The skies, bright and clear, wind now mild.
Nature's temper tantrum, like that of a child....

Civility in gentle temper spoke
Respectfully, as factions disagree
Kindness bound common ground in unity
And softened generosity awoke.

You sit
         With an emotion at the ready.
                      An idea,

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...

angrily slap at the earth                                 ...

Splitting soil and rock; quaking, 
shaking dance of death.
Land and sea alike,
Well shaken; no stirring here; 
an earthquake, temper tantrum....

Hurricane Hermine is coming ashore this dark night,
Descending with wind and rain and a stormy appetite.
Nature is throwing a tantrum, and we will respect its wrath.
It may take no prisoners in its tempestuous path.

People are hurriedly preparing with water and food.
Some will have a hurricane...

And today he craved a bowl of clam chowder
The waitress with a frown
Said "the chowder's all gone"
Ben threw a tantrum, whining all the louder...

I was shopping in the local mall
When a toddler just started to bawl
He stamped his tiny feet
And demanded a treat
But his mum wouldn’t buy a football!

He continued to scream and shout
His small mouth displayed a huge pout
But much to his chagrin
His mum did not cave...

Uncontrollably erupting 
Marinated often by a trivial notions
Immune to consoling...

Volcano’s erupting
All across the planet;
Magma flows without eyes;
Lava waves collecting,
Anything in its path;
People, animals, plants.

Temper tantrums thrown;
Hot lava cools down.
Leaving a hard crust;
Where nothing will grow
And no life will thrive.

Volcano sleeps;
Please don’t wake it.
There are many
Tantrums elsewhere.

Plants are gone;
People gone;
Wildlife gone.

Silence
Blankets

Earth.,...

Tea pot Patty slurps her ginger tea
Whiskey with opioids mixed within it
A cup of pleasure there for company
Poor bar stool could break in two
With Patty and her tonnage on it
A lit cigar dangles from thick lips
She was born upside down with it
When a doctor slapped
She...
