The poem describes well the elements of the emotion- anger. The descriptive language incorporated throughout the piece is used in a manner that enhances the sensory experience the reader experiences as they read the poem. The image and deep red background enhance the presentation. Nice work.

Emotions are Amazing, like our touch-feel, I guess it has a processing plant somewhere, in a conversation with God, He told me emotions where our servants not our masters, like pain a warning device, they make us sentient. Counting to a hundred is a reasonable device to overcome the temptation, Beautifully written, well done, great post. blessings Roy

We can indeed learn to control our temper over time and those who are out of control are soon friendless. A poignant write here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I could feel the anger from the words you chose for this poem. That's a very good choosing for a poet. I really enjoyed reading this poem. The red helped with setting the mood, but for an old lady it made it hard to read.

Your poem described anger very well and also included a way of controlling it by taking deep breaths and counting to a hundred. Some people keep pent up anger and it causes health problems. Well done.
Suggestions for readability:
The font is hard to read on that very dark background and it could be larger.

Congratulations on persevering and finishing this contest. Your poem on anger is well done and a good ending for the project. The red background certainly goes with your subject, but I found it a bit hard to read because of it.

I fear I can not do you justice because I know nothing about the technicalities of writing poetry. Your words made me understand and feel the emotion that you hoped to portray. And of course, the red accents it all. Nicely done - Smiles, Carol

As a poetic description of anger this is not badly done at all. I would try and find another word for belly though, since that word is repeated in fairly close proximity.

I would retain it in its first instance 'Others as a fire in the belly' and try and find an alternative two lines later for 'It sits deep in the belly' perhaps, 'gut', 'intestines', 'stomach' might be considered.
