She was angry with me,
She made her lover insult me.
She was jealous of what I do,
She complained it seriously, to many of you.
*
She kept the madness and fears,
She allowed the wrath to grow.
I showered her blue tree with tolerance and smiles,
And sent forgiveness to her deceitful wiles.
*
But the blue tree keeps growing,
Things don't look glory or glowing.
She beholds the harmful tree shine,
I'm glad the tree is NOT mine.
*
Then into the garden stole,
When the evening has masked the pole,
I'm pleased to see,
I have outstretched beneath this blue tree.

Nice poem on anger!
Wonderful poem on being angry.
especially if you're not an angry person by nature,
Yvonne,
Nice poem indeed! Happy Monday!
I really liked this. Your words are full of insight.
Very nice. :)
This is very reminiscent of William Blake's style and use of extended metaphor. The picture was well chosen to link up with your words.
This poem makes its point well!
Different colours of nature and life should be traced in your poetry...really very nice and attractive.

It is awful when wrath grows and becomes so hurtful.
It's cool we can write these situations into our poems and dilute the effect on our psyches......good job!
Nice poem. Anger is such a difficult emotion to overcome. Thanks for sharing.
Compelling piece of writing on a difficult topic.
eloquently put xxxx anger does not solve anything xx
Feeling blue from the anger? I agree...excess anger serves only to harm ourselves. but letting go of it is sometimes more difficult than one thinks. Like the poem and the imagery.
this is quite profound, jingle. anger and forgiveness in a lovely poem. :)
Excellent poem. It's too often that people do use their anger to hurt others.
Very well written on anger...which does not bring anyone anywhere. Great poem for Potluck. Thanks Ji xx
Enjoyed the openness and the tone here, the sweet scent of a compassionate heart.

--Someone Is Special--
a person's true nature is very often unraveled when he/she is jealous or angry.
some people become really ugly.
a very thoughtprovoking poem.

A wonderful lesson on dealing with the anger of others. I really loved your words 'showered her blue tree with tolerance and smiles'
Lovely Jingle. Thank you :)
Everything about this post is amazing. A perfect blue tree with wonderful words. Loved your blog.
This reminds me of A Poison Tree by William Blake.
Happy Blue Monday, Jingle! Check out my book giveaways.
"but the blue tree keeps growing"...so much depth in this poem Jingle...i love it! :-)
A perfect poem illustrating anger...and the use of blue just adds an entirely different dimension.So well done, Jingle!
Great poem on anger and well done! Happy Blue MOnday!
Very pleasing entry. Love the change of perspective as the poem undulates towards the ending. You have such a talent for building a string of images that develop into a fantastic story. Thanks for posting!

The fruit of the poison tree..we can only turn away..not be part of hatred...
I see blue anger as a calm, reasonable anger. I love the interplay of emotion and color.
Wonderfully written Jingle, great job=P~
Such a contrasting piece, ugly in its topic but beautiful in its wording!
You've captured Angry very well. Wonderful post! =)

What an ethereal one.. a feel of beauty.. yet expressing so intensely..
Anger, I guess eats up the logical reasoning part of our Brain.!!
Wonderfully written.. very Bluish- :)
I know how dreadful that anger can get...you have managed to write that here with strong, powerful emotions yet with equal elegance..
beautiful!!
I like when men express their feelings ... especially about women!
great writing and thought here Jingle.
You are so skilled at weaving color, emotion, themes, and more into a single poem that is poignant, clear, and brilliant. Thanks for sharing your poetry Jingle. Makes a huge difference in my world!
Beautiful poem...sorry I got late with this but still thanks for sharing this Jingle...(+)

Full of emotions. The imagery is great.
Wonderful! Great emotion and smoothly flowing.
Very passionate poem! I felt anger and hurt and thought how sad that anger is allowed to fester until it damages the one who is feeling this anger, as well as the one who is receiving it.
I think this was very well written and brought out some really good responses from your readers. Blessings!
