Remember Man that Anger is futile! <br />Restrain your temper bad when ‘fumes’ arise; <br />Apologize if guilty, in high style, <br />And write your Anger off or play it nice. <br /> <br />Mere counting helps to dissipate Anger; <br />But slamming doors and raving mad aren’t right; <br />Poetry puts the ‘plane’ into hanger! <br />When Anger comes, Man loses his insight. <br /> <br />The more you write, the stinging tone gets less; <br />The balls you smash will fall away off-court; <br />Painting, cartooning help Anger harness; <br />Just hold your temper making it your forte! <br /> <br />An action rash in angry mood too fails; <br />When calm returns, a better sense prevails. <br /> <br /> 6-6-2001<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-on-anger/
