woman attempts to control her daughter

If you are disobedient, I will disinherit you.
This was said in a mean way with a snotty face.
the young woman felt sorry for her mother.
her mother's attempts to control her belittled her.
I love you Mom, she told her, but not your ways.
She resolved to never raise her children like her mother.
She raised them far away,

Too Stubborn to Die

A desire to die, found myself lazily lie,
Oh—'Without pain,' then why even try?
Hanged dupatta on a fan left running,
It spun, it tore—just threads kept churning.

Asked GPT for methods of death, 
And back came '10 Ways to Be Happy' instead!
It said- "Just hold this night alive", 
Weird—was I meant to be gone by sunrise?

Funny, right?...

Sped at

she attempts an escape

she rescued herself
leaving an abusive man
family felt relief
not understanding danger
restraining order
seemed to irritate her ex
abuser hunted her down

rabbit attempts to get away

white bunnies are funny
tails puffy and fluffy
I see bear with thick honey
now he is getting huffy
will he see the bunny?

He sets down the honey
I watch the rabbit try to hop away
will he live another day?
Rodents are incredibly funny

Those Early Attempts At a Mexican Food

those early attempts at a Mexican food
no store bought cardboard taco shells
she had to prepare her own
the appearance of the tortilla press
the arrival of the tortilla holder
became a beginning to a menagerie of new tools 
experiments with red and green chili
she chose to pursue red, much spicier
and as with her marinara ages well in the

Complex Simplicity a Madman Attempts To Understand Divinity

I HAD A DREAM . I know I know its been said before
But hear me out before you close the world
Views away into bleak abyss one where we all fight
Over who is wrong and what is right truly we are better than this

So science and religion what if they were one 
I mean it's completely

Attempts At Lifelong Friendships and Holy Matrimony

Introduction: once again I incorporate 
my trademark penchant 
to fabricate fictitiously
portions of the following poetic endeavor
can you care to 
discern fact from fiction?

Attempts at lifelong friendships and holy matrimony...

Shot thru with figuratively cankerous nub,
cuz yours truly did flub
even though as a scouting cub
how yours truly - alias Phil Anderer

Failed Attempts Meant I'M a Success

I feel out of place…out of place
I dream of floating in space…
Away from the darkness below
I hide my eyes from the undertow

We couldn’t see cuz we were out of our mind
We shouldn’t be left behind while we’re blind
I made failed attempts and it’s tempting to say I’ve lost it all,
But I’m a success and hell

While Skeptic Attempts To Comprehend the Legacy of Jonathan Edwards

Alternately titled: Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

While inside me noggin legions
of monstrous demons abhor
protest being force fed
arcane and obscure
assaying into religious dogma
hence mind chatter goes full bore
thus crafting poem quite a difficult chore,
one lightweight bag of bones
basketcase weave gotta deplore,

nevertheless mine tincup rattled
courtesy garden variety eyesore
athwart slip stream
of space/time continuum
twenty two minus
seven years

Attempts Made

There has to be made many attempts,
even if it gives you no content
It is a single attempt which can change,
all your life's pre-decided stamps

Will there be attempts,
That would give you constraints
There has to be a failed attempt,
which will give you a huge bent

But after facing all that sand,
there will be one attempt
to give you in

Three Attempts To Rob Was Just a Huge Mess

Three attempts to rob was just a huge mess.
Frustrated, angry, I decided to walk with a bat.
Next five of my attempts brought me a success,
The wisest idea, no doubt in that!

In the Arms

I'm in the arms of my first love
It feels so good, it feels so right
Why did we give up
If we were ideal
It broke our hearts
It changed ourselves
But we were trying to be the same 
Why didn't we fight 
For our feelings

Chorus

I knew we were meant
for something better
That's sad part of our past
I want to forget

Attempts

Once a foetus
Once a child
Today is night
Tomorrow is
Morning
Once a season
Once out of season
As in once upon a time
We were in and later out
Once an adult
Twice a child
Once upon a time
We made it and
Once upon a time
We failed

His Heart

his heart broken
too late for last ditch attempts
~ everything failed
