Anger is never a pretty thing and is an emotion that most nice girls are taught to repress from a young age. Poorly chanelled anger is of course destructive to the self and others, but I believe that when harnassed, rage can be a great creative force. Today’s poem is about a woman who used her inner fire positively to become a stronger more expressive person and in turn had the last laugh. There is also a link to a video of the poem below the writing.
Furescala
Furescala, the flame thrower
She once got badly burned
She lay down on the kitchen floor
All alone and spurned
Scalded by the heat of love
Consumed by her desire
Furescala felt powerless
But learned to trust her fire
Harnessing the energy
And no longer forlorn
Hell it knows no fury
Like a woman scorned
A blazing, burning rhapsody
So powerful and bold
Seething through her very core
And how her flames could scald
She flipped the anger inside out
And turned it on it’s head
Flaming, fierce and passionate
Her heart was strong and red
Spicy, hot, like chilli seeds
And thumping with such ire
Instead of holding it inside
She set her soul on fire
She sang it and she painted it
She danced it, celebrated
Instead of letting it consume her
She simply created
Furescala was furious
And she had flames to throw
And once sheβd fully felt her rage
She smiled and let it go
Awesome I simply love all your poems. So beautiful and simply let it go and to just fly away.

agree with bbb … when I worked in child protection I used my fury several times to confront doctors who were not reporting extensive injuries … turned them around to work with me π but creativity is also a great outlet π in held it becomes depression

The key is to find a non destructive outlet I think. Then the force of range can be transformational! π

Thanks so much! If we repress anger it builds up and consumes us. Chanelling it positively is what allows us to let go of it I think…

Love that chili pepper heart. Loved listening to your video – you presented the poem with exquisite taste and drama Furescala is a very unusual name. The last 2 lines of the poem make for a perfect ending. Very well done.

Thanks Peggy. This was one of my favourite poems to write and recite. Perhaps not the most PC of topics but I really believe we can flip our anger inside out and use it to create positive transformation. How was your day? π

Yes, I believe we can flip our anger to make things positive. That was a very nice poem you wrote. My day is going well. One blogger just gave me a good laugh with her comment and it made my day. Your poem made me feel very good also – thank you.

I enjoyed this poem and it reinforced the idea of using anger to accomplish something good – like making yourself into a stronger, more assertive person.
