The anger in me

 

 

This ill temper I have is making me mad

I blow up and I don’t know why

I wish for just a moment I could handle my anger right

I wish for just a moment I could love you right

I wish my attitude would just go away

I wish my anger would stay at bay

This outlook I have on life needs to change

This outlook I have you needs to say the same

I love you deep down inside

I wish you would see

That you’re the only princess for me

The anger I have deep in side

Comes out when I least expect it

This anger I have in me should just go away

This anger I have is an annoyance

This anger I have has messed my life up

This anger I have is stupid

Anger you have messed up my marriage

Anger you have messed up my life

Anger you have destroyed who I am inside and out

Anger you are the devil

Anger you are all that is bad

This anger I have in me has made me fight

A fight that was not worth it

Anger you made me hit the wrong person

Anger you made me do the wrong things

Anger you are the feeling that I would never miss

Anger you have caused me so much sorrow

Anger you have caused nothing but grief.

Anger just go away 

Jonathan Pendley 

The four major elements of poetry are imagery, sound, voice and form. The form of this poem is in simple structure in simple present tense description. Moreover, each paragraph starts with some repetitive words, like “I”, “this”, and “anger”. There aren’t any metaphors used but clear, and strong expression. The author clearly expressed his deep emotion controlled by the unknown anger, and those effects it brought via the strong tone of his feelings “ Anger”. In addition,those repetitive sounds emphasize the overwhelming impact it brought up to the author and the readers while I was reading this it. All in all, there is no imagery usage in this poem but true deep emotions, a very straightforward expression on emotion description instead.
