 Always angry 
 my close friend 
 lights a fire 
 with green pine boughs 
 in snow 
 on the frozen river 


 In twilight 
 the red blaze crackles 
 melts virgin powder 
 below the dark blue sky -- 
 for 
 moment 
 we are free from school

 LET ME GIVE YOU 
 A PIECE OF MY MIND

 Anger 
two boys in a fist fight over a card game

 while a true emotion 
 is the easiest 
sculpture of man with angry face

 and often the only one 
 for men afraid 
 of something 
 deeper 
drawing of faces of an angry man and a frightened man

The Emotions of Men and Women By Rick Doble

  FEELINGS  
Text by Rick Doble. All images are from commons.wikimedia.org unless otherwise noted.

 I never met a man 
man hiding his emotions

 who understood 
 his emotions 


 I never met a woman 
woman being hysterical

 who did not take 
 her feelings 
 too far

Greek Tragedy by Rick Doble

 GREEK TRAGEDY 

 Sometimes 
 like Oedipus 
 we must search 


 Yet at the end 
 wish 
 we had 
 never known
