Frustration

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hair pulled out,

I wanna shout,

Body trembles with phantom pain,

Itchiness swarming my mindless brain,

Punching a wall,

Feeling sorrow,

Realizing I don't know it all,

Hoping this **** ends tomorrow.

A nice little ditty about frustration. I'm surprised there wasn't any blood or chunks of flesh when you pulled your hair out. I thought the ending rhymed fine. I like the hope that it will end by tomorrow.

I loved it! The way you read it mirrors frustration very well. The only bit I didn't like so much was the last couple of lines, for some reason they just didn't seem to fit for me.

This was short, precise, and to the point. The shortness of the poem reflects the longevity of frustration itself. It only takes a second to get mad and blow a gasket. Many a time there has been when I have busted a knuckle against a wall.

Yeah, what they said.

I thought it was a good poem, too. Short, and not quite as graphically grotesque as what we're used to seeing from you, but I liked it.

Exams............................

This is the feeling the week immediately prior to ALL of my accountancy exams.

Doesn't matter how good the revision has been, the mind goes completely blank as the memory chips in the brain turn off.

Relief at the exam room door when they all come back on and you gaze aroung the Atrium at the saddos who've left it to the last minute to bring their 'crash' notes with them.

Oh, frabsious day. Galloo gallay (Jabberwocky) - recommended reading............trust me!

Max, have you found your medium?

Good verse.

Phil

I don't know. You do a fair enough job of describing frustration, but it reads too much like song lyrics. Like something that was written for the way it sounded, as opposed to what it says. You dig?

Hmmm...Phantom pain, eh? That's a very interesting wway to put it. Anyway, I think this was well done even though it was pretty short. It was strong and very relatable. Great job!

Great Job

This was done very well. I especially liked the choice of font.

You conveyed the feeling of pure frustration very well, with universal wording that can apply the feeling in any context. I really like this; Good job :)

frustration

What is frustration.

Maybe i would be a better poet if I had some.

I have lived my life to the tune of WC Fields

If at first you do not succeed,

Give up, No use being a damn fool about it.

Mind you he also said

Sometimes you have to take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

or

who said

Don't get mad

Get even.

or, as the great Don Revie and the nearly as great Bill Shankley are reputed to have said at the same time on the same day

Get your retaliation in first.

Now I am going to look down your list for some comedy

I hope I find some

Kind regards

harmattan.
