: Re: Should you publish or share poetry that was written simply in an angry or sad rant? I've written a poem exploring my conflicting emotions of anger and the joy that the anger keeps supressing.

Generally poetry in most cases transport emotions, that doesn't mean necessarily positive emotions. It could be happen, that what you wrote in anger is not in a condition that you like to publish it, but if you think it work that way, then you shouldn't be stopped by the emotional state you were in writing this. If you're unsure, give it someone else who you trust to read, if she/he says it is OK then publish. And remember, many negative emotions like depression, sadness, anger or the like have influenced writers over the centuries, and sometimes their work is even better then written in such emotional states.
