Irritated

Help me smother this irritation ~ with lines and punctuations ~ Feed me pronouns ~ to drown incompetent sounds ~ Nouns to block inevitable frowns ~ verbs to calm nerves ~ Synonyms to perpetuate and penetrate minds ~ antonyms to reiterate in rhyme~ Give me a vocabulary of words to express my perturb ~ why must people be so absurd Lay

Dear Lay, I enjoyed this very clever poem. It really speaks to when I'm irritated about something, but it is said in a poetic way. Good poem. Carol Louise

Your messages are always expressed so clearly, Lay. I get a bit irritated when it's apparent an author is merely trying to impress us with a vocabulary, while not really saying anything. Awesome poem for my faves, dear. Love, Carolyn
