Winds of Anger
#14
There were a few things i liked about the work.
The idea is good. Showing the nullifying, destructive consequences of anger.
However, I think, in poetry, the subject should not be immediately apparent, and it is, here. 
Part of the satisfaction of reading poetry is the recognition of its subject matter.
It might also ave been better to show something of the toll on one's health, anger takes.
The section covering the unfulfilled  promises and the part warning of its dangers, are, for me, the best parts.
I liked some of the imagery.
 
The hot winds of anger
blow across the frigid landscape.
Leaving only a desert
where flowers once grew.....I like this imagery
 
Gone are the mighty oaks.
Gone are the gentle lilies.
Gone, the song birds
and the soaring eagles.
 
Deserted oasis;
poisoned waters;
parched bones
of the errant nomads.
 
Shimmers of promise,
mirages of hope,
proven elusive
on the arid horizon.....good
 
Travelers beware.
Drink not too deeply.
What seems sweet to the tongue
may sour in the belly.........Fair
