Anatomy Of Arrogance Poem by Robert Charles Howard

Charles, just in from a lovely vacation and read your comments about my own poetry. Thought I'd return the favor. This is the first piece of yours I've read, I think. It's absolutely brilliantly rendered and amazingly honest too. Thanks for sharing.

i loved this poem..its sp true..we forget that arrogance is really a very scared AND LONELY PERSON INSIDE

I've certainly felt like a ball of terror with a mask. I like your evocation of fluidity in this piece, Robert, and its rather abstract quality, that yet zeroes in on true human situations.

An eloquent penning of the limitations fear imposes upon the self. I might extend the metaphor to politics, but individual psychology will have to do, for now. The huddling fear of the novel, the unknown, is an impediment to wisdom. This poem is liberating.

Beautiful my friend. This is so often the case behind arrogant behavior. It hides deep insecurities. Very vivid descriptions, yet short and to the pt. I really liked

Arrogance can spring out of a totally nasty soul, but, yes, it can also spring out of a heart filled with fear as a defense mechanism. Very good expose of the topic.

Yes! The terror behind the mask. Thanks for sharing.

Arrogance well portrayed...good write..the ending lines really read good...i liked...10

u are absolutely positively correct! ! amazing! u speak of it perfectly

Very nice I enjoyed your description. The poem also accomplishes its task of exposing what arrogance is. Wonderful work!
