Her Rage

Delia J. Fry 1943 (Los Ageles)

August 23 
Rhymed
Her Rage

No time for ancient ruins
Or the dalliance of buffoons
Not with the ache of this day
As I mourn with the jay

The once most beautiful face
Now shrouded in amber lace
In death, it shields the rage
Like makeup upon the stage

    I was jotting down notes as I read through the August poems. Forgive me, mine don’t seem to match your ‘about this poem’ comment, but I still thought I would share it with you …

    “I would love to know what inspired this poem. Please! Two simple stanzas that seem to indicate a lot. I’m reminded of the scene from the movie “Braveheart” where William Wallace stands over his dead bride (who is wrapped in a white lacy material). You can see and sense the deep grief and burning rage simultaneously.”
