The Two Angers

        For my first post under Interesting Alternatives to Prose, I thought it'd be nice to begin with a poem I've written. Remember, I believe that a writer's growth comes through critique as well as through practice, so feel free to drop a comment if my poetry doesn't dazzle you.

       Here goes . . . .

An anger that kills and an anger that feeds,

One used by good men and one used by the rest,

By one anger a house was cleaned of evil seeds

And by the second, a good man failed a great test.

One anger that glared, bit, and snarled for its way,

One anger that enforced and did not insist,

One anger that cared not for who would go or stay

And one anger that knew right, following God’s list.

Two angers, two births, two uses, and parents

And yet only one anger will lead to our inheritance.
