anger – Leonas Lines

Cinquain, Scripture

Consider This

Proverbs 15:1 image

At times

We won’t agree,

But let’s not speak harsh words

Which cause anger, choose a soft reply

Instead.

Cinquain

Based on Proverbs 15:1

Nonet

Looking on in Sadness

Pale Purple Lily plant in bloom

Lily dressed in pale purple

Stands regal by the garden gate

Watching the growing parade

Slowly passing her by

Focused on anger

Without a care

They destroy

What once

Was

Worry masks peace

Anger masks calmness

Lies mask truth

Doubt masks trust

Fear masks opportunity

Bitterness masks love

In A Moment

Angry
Rude words spoken
Close friendship embittered
Relationship destroyed hastily
Hearts wounded

One wearing handcuffs
Behind glass dressed in orange
Freedom lost to anger
