Topic: Angry (08/02/07)

TITLE: Anger Bugs

The anger bugs come crawling
When things don’t go my way.
I know just how to stop them;
Get on my knees and pray.

But somehow I forget that,
And slip into defeat.
I let those bugs come at me
And every time I’m beat.

It often starts out little,
A small care or concern.
I let it churn inside me;
When will I ever learn?

The bugs they come too quickly --
Latch on to my despair.
Before I know what’s happened,
I’m caught in Satan’s snare.

A-ranting and a-raving,
I am a sight to see.
I fear that wicked demons
Have got a hold of me.

The anger bugs are waging
A war I cannot win.
I know the Bible tells me
“In anger, do not sin.”

Dear God, come to my rescue,
Please help me do what’s right.
The anger boils inside me --
Is this to be my plight?

I’m here for you, my daughter,
The work has all been done.
Release your rage and worries,
The battle has been won.


The anger bugs come crawling
When things don’t go my way.
I know just how to stop them;
Get on my knees and pray.

I'll always remember this delightful poem - everytime somebody or somethng "Bugs me" to the point of anger. Really neat. I loved it! Good job!

Wonderful poem! Great job.

I enjoyed the rhythm and rhyme of this poem. It states exactly how I feel sometimes when I let anger take control. I like the solution: prayer!
Jan Ackerson 08/13/07
Fun poem, and especially effective for me, a bug-o-phobe. Bugs, anger: two terrible things to avoid at all cost!

Great job with the lilt of this light-hearted piece.

A poem I can certainly identify with...now if I could only apply it more often. Great job!

I really liked the "movement" speed of this one. Very well said and true to ones feelings.
Pam Carlson-Hetland08/15/07
This one both made me smile and cringe. Been there, done that. Loved the rhythm. Having God's response in there was very effective. Great job.
Kristen Hester 08/16/07
CONGRATULATIONS on 3rd place! This is great!
