Chapter 96 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: Boundaries Regulations and Frustrations
Date: August 2041
Members of the Damian fraternity
Were relaxing in the backyard. The
Soon to be 4 year olds conducted
Themselves in their sandbox.
The older children picniced on
The grass. Amadeus DJ Damali
And Desharah sat in a circle with
Their twin cousins Myselah and
Sedanah. They talked about
Teenage issues and parents
And Responsibilities. They
Talked about

A Dream World
Are we living in a dream world
Contrasting the real world
When we're small
We started dreaming
A dream world appeared suddenly
In front of the real world
Are we still living there
No,we aren't
Now even frustrations and mishaps we face
Still
We're full of hopes and expectations
We face,we fight,we wish and we pray

The Frustrations of a Poetic Writer
Writing poetry draws one within
allowing the inward self to demonstrate
all that's been down there deep and dark
making your light shine before its too late
Irritation is a descriptive word
one that we all seek to emulate
it tasks our mind to our extreme
pointing higher worthy to contemplate
Consider the classical violinist supreme
who has a true ever living ear
but the

Transplanted I Planted In Africa
When Corona came, I was on Reunion Island
Indian Ocean environs, nearer native South Africa ...
Transplanted, I have planted a garden, thrived
Without any research, butternuts survived
But in my pot and that of a friend's -
We grew Mint, Coriander, Hot Peppers, Lentils
The last was a challenge: to clean off the chaff
Transplanted, I planted again in Africa
Marigolds, Neem,

Frustrations
Cruel fate does meddle with the hands on the clock
Seizing fate and destroying ambition.
Such simple, yet effective manipulation
Forcing all from cradle to grave,
under the direction of destiny's frail hands
and on such rare occasion
that luck may just prevail
by even minute chances do the grains of time repair
and its tedious cycle starts anew
Such ferocity in the

On Being a Car-Less Driver and Other Frustrations
Can't reach those cookies

Off to fight wars at eighteen...

Frustrations
By Charles G.P. Chard 2nd
Chevra Gavri Hanita Hazaka Abir Selek 2nd
Computers are a very needful thing,
In this day we live in,
Their programs and your thoughts do not agree,
Frustrations and anger set in,
It constantly will not do what you need done,
You feel like punching it out,
Why programs can’t be made simple and easy,
Relieving you

Your Fickle Climate
Your aura packs rapt confusion, it snap drags me with a cyclone’s aloof.
Your spring perfume cloaks your stroked fall-colored spoof
and your bright appeal conceals delusion -
yet, my eager seeks your smoked flair’s intrusion.
Hope seeking a clue, I examine climbing gaps in your fickle climate.
I attempt to riot your depths of private.
Your sky-air raises hints

Frustrations and Failed Suicide Attempts
Depression can't be seen, yet he follows me everywhere
You can't see him beating me down and taking away my strength
I feel it everyday, he makes me act up and brings me to tears
He laughs at me for my frustrations and failed suicide attempts
I was numb for so long, but I'm beginning to feel this
I just

Frustrations
As our patience wears thin
We encounter the Moment
Where our frustrations
Boil to the surface
That deep part of us
We choose not to reveal
Even to ourselves
Is the legend of nightmares
For what awaits us
When this dimension surfaces
Are bits and pieces of knowledge about who we are
That are too painful to see in the clear light of day
Better to be

Life's Frustrations and the Other Side of the Coin
Always something
Depression -
illnesses of one
kind or another
drill holes into
our happiness
The sky may be
clear or overcast
but either way
we have plenty to
worry about
Yet frustrations
melt way
for brief periods

Life of Frustrations
Life is full of all kinds
frustrations all the day long
makes one uptight and edgy
finds you singing a sad song
Somebody may say a wrong word
puts you on real short fuse
which could spark so easy
wish could tell life please excuse
The worst is that awful temper
that simmers there deep below
even when you think it's licked
it rises up to

Frustrations
Aching with such soreness, the thought
of touching glass longing to shatter in pieces
but uncertain as to how much force.
Strength of varying degrees to apply
and yet fearful of shattered glass,
brittle grains of sand and levels
of the unknown.
Grey dark clouds heavy laden with drops.
Looking to burst but just waters in motion,
waiting, titillating in jest almost laughing down.
Provoking
