I’m so angry.
In the past, I would use my anger as energy to fuel my running. Running a few miles felt delicious, when I was so mad I could spit (or kick someone nasty in the teeth). But my achy body and I can’t run very fast or for very long these days, so I can’t turn my anger into speed. I’ve been looking for other options, for different way to turn my anger into something healthy. Since I want ideas from real people (I actually like), I’m here using our platform for personal research purposes. Despicable, I know. But what can I say? Anger makes me extra selfish ( and greedy for good poems and stories).
So, my dear poets and storytellers, for today’s optional prompt, I invite to write poetry or prose which explores anger as healthy fuel.
Please, add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title). You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose, write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other writers. Comment on their words.
next week, we’ll invite you to write about a perfect afternoon—either one you had or would like to have.
Thank you for hosting Magaly - wishing you good health - Jae
ReplyDeleteIt's not in my poem, but there's always my old favourite: bashing a pillow. Doesn't physically hurt anyone else, and usually not oneself either – though I am not sure what applies in your case. It works for me if I am very much enraged, because I can really go to town on the poor pillow. (No, it's not required often, but occasionally.)
