Another wow poem!<br /><br /> "Hate"<br /><br />Five or six---<br />Red-faced and furious--<br />"I hate you!" I scream.<br />"I hate you!"<br />I run to bedroom<br />throw myself across the bed-<br />my black shoes <br />making ugly marks <br />on white bedspread<br />my grandmother rubs my back.<br />"Hate is an ugly word,"<br />she says, "Never use the word hate<br />to talk about people."<br /><br />Fifty years later<br />I repeat this mantra.<br />"Hate is an ugly word,"<br />I say to my boys.<br />"Never use the word hate<br />to talk about people."<br />And then my sons,<br />the people I love <br />most in the world,<br />scream across the room,<br />"I hate you, I hate you."<br />And I am surprised<br />at how freely <br />that ugly word <br />rolls off their tongues<br />and how much it hurts.<br /><br /> (C) Carol Wilcox, 2015Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-62023552417424169052015-04-13T12:52:34.455-04:002015-04-13T12:52:34.455-04:00Your poem and picture are thought provokers.
