Fury (Free verse) by J.B. Manning
I continue to express This weight on my chest As it’s lightened And lifted And starts to regress Press A finger ever slightly You don’t wanna fight me Waitin to ignite me The flame inside Is burning my mind I am lost in you Torn and tossed by you Standing beside you I feel the sting of danger Ingested Digested Contorted by your anger But I smile Wait a while Give it time The perfect crime Against the man Who did me wrong And now I’m older Bolder and strong And you’re running away Hiding each day Casting long shadows In darkness And light Standing face to face It’s time that we fight Brother and brother Man against man Fear in your Eyes Calm fury and Me

Down the ladder: I don't know

Hey JB,

A little choppy and disjointed but it does have some nice lines. -6- Joe-joe

Joe-joe has a valid point, it seems to lack substance but has the odd good line 6

We slipped in to sadness is a useful line which could be better used. For example you write it like you wore sadness (like your heart on your sleeve) all you need is a line like the 1st one but with a follow up line which really hits home.

We slipped into sadness? Is that a reference to my poem? I don't get the connection. That isn't a verse from this poem.

Kind of like a bad soap opera. Sorry.
