Anger Management

A sonnet about frustration aimed at high school drama queens and the like.

 

Every day spent in the same silent way,

Slow, torturous methods of subjection

To tolerate premature thoughts that may

Offend and promote further rejection.

Ill from overdose of whiny drama

Queens, choking the stench of stupidity

down, dead from endless supply of trauma,

and disappointed in ability.

So oftenly do I spy you smirking

In return all I offer is a scowl.

For the King of Dunces is yet lurking,

I warn him away with a simple growl.

So until the IQ level raises,

I’ll be silent and hold my praises.

Author's Note

Written for a high school creative writing class.

I like this poem, and unfortunately sometimes it is difficult to bite the tongue. I would say that most of us would benefit from some Anger Managment courses from time to time.

This is the first item of yours that I've read, but I think you've got a new fan already�

[Shaun R. Kilroy]

I like the first two lines a lot -

Every day spent in the same silent way,
Slow, torturous methods of subjection -

Reading the rest, it's a good poem, but I'm not a fan of all of the exact rhymes. I think this poem would read better with some changes to the wording. Good work.

I'm a fan

[Richard McLin]

It almost sounds like someone who is not happy in a relationship, or at least that's how I interpreted it. Good work.

[Katlyn Loch]

Sounds like someone is sick of school. Not to dissapoint but it never changes, even in the work force. I enjoyed this spin. A poem on the trials of everday life. A unique idea I have yet to see approached.
