Prompt for Day 14
Write a cleave poem. A cleave poem is three poems in one. According to the creator of the form, Dr. Phuoc-Tan Diep: “In its most basic form it is three poems: two parallel ‘vertical’ poems (left and right)…[with] a third ‘horizontal’ poem being the fusion of the vertical poems read together.”
IN A TEMPER
All day it brews at a slow simmer burning in the pit of her stomach
Bubbles of anger rise to the surface gnawing at her; ready to burst
Rage claims her mind sapping her energy, growing stronger
Her bad mood blazes furious words explode
like pieces of an asteroid fragmenting in a perfect April sky.

This one was a doozy. Excellent job.
I love what you did here.
