I can extend sideways my 
too small ears to 
my door, but I can’t 
quite reach 
the lock. That’s quite 
disappointing.

Unsmart Metre

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!

Okay

Poetry is dumb and boring
Only red skittles are delectable
Excellent customer service
Trees have green leaves
Respiration is aided by abdominal muscles
Yesterday was disappointing

Fun

It was good 
Enjoyed the time
I've been called
To the mother ship
They say I can't come back
For a long spell
So sad 
So disappointing
What is the worst 
I'll have to be working

My Cluttered Mind

My cluttered mind
Overslept
Late for work again
Let go
Kids to feed
Bills to pay
Tired, so tired
What to do? 
Why me?
Disappointing them again
Repeat
What’s the matter with me?

The Cosmic Joke

The cosmic joke

Which says

We are what 

We're seeking

Is a story

Which resounds

And may be

Disappointing 

For the one

Seeking the end

Of beliefs..

Renewed joke...

Quality of Discourse

So disappointing to have a reputation--
Known for argumentative disputation
When we could be known for a gentler tone,
Raising quality of discourse in our generation.

Bore Burden

That flavor
gave her
wings, then faced a wall

Against odds
Opposing time
Blocked, like a limp burden

Face it 
Was disappointing
Swallow, now just give up.

First retain
Next clean
it, at once let go.

It Sucks

It sucks because it's hurricane season
Where at lease twenty-four 
To twenty-six hurricanes
Is to be named, the
Inconvenience of maybe
Having to pick up and run
It is already a stressful situation
That has push us to the max's

Give Up On Yourself

It can be disappointing
yet liberating,
to realize that your Intellect,
your religion,
all your borrowed knowledge,
every kind of spiritual teaching
and practice
must be put in a garbage can
until you are ready to talk rubbish again.

Mind Paradox

Reality 
                   Harsh, Concise
          Planning, Deciding, Organizing
       Rational Mind,  imagination, dream
      Deceiving, Disappointing, Frustrating

Looking Back

It was a disappointing effort to say the least
But just because it’s over doesn’t mean I’m at peace

In retrospect it seems like a waste of time, Just to come up short

Looking back I probably could have spent more time outside in my gym shorts

Jenny Teapot

I loved you once, Jenny Teapot,
Until that love turned sour.
You poured the finest Yorkshire Tea,
On the hour, every hour.
But the love we had, went off the boil,
In a most disappointing way.
Betrayed by your affections,
For Darjeeling, Assam and Earl Grey.

She

Preposterous, I am not a junk-food addict!
The recipe was good;
The presentation was great;
The final dish, however, was disappointing.
It could have used a teaspoon full of warmth
And maybe a dash of humor.
A crowd pleaser, at first, to be sure,
But not worth the effort.

In Spite Of

In spite of my pain
In spite of my heart ache
In spite of my tears
In spite of my fears
In spite of the unknown 
of this crazy world we live in.

I love you

In spite of the sleepless night
In spite of the disappointing days
In spite of my sickness

I still Love you.

To Be Free

I want to be free
Free of sorrow
Memories and shame
Free from fear
Anger and pain
Free of disappointing
This name
Free from suffering
Guilt and blame
A freedom I am
Worthy to claim
I want to be free
I want to let go
To be free of me

Ice Cream Man

Here comes Jolly Joe the ice cream man.
We loved congregating when we heard his bell.
We always heard it one street away, so we ran inside.
Begging quarters and dimes off all of our grownups.
It was disappointing when they said “no”, 
but then they said yes, oh, my!
What a treat!

Illusion

All I see is the light in me		
Shining bright from the ones I lost	
And left behind, but I'll be alright	
What does not kill me			
Makes me tougher than tough!

Love is an illusion
A nice one but still	
An illusion!			
Chasing love is like			
Chasing the wind
Disappointing				
And vain!

Tis the Season

Tis the season of high expectation
And disappointing outcomes

Of obligations 
And guilty consciences 


Tis the season of cellulite
And failed diets

Of sinking self esteem
And blotchy faces

Tis the season of lighter pockets
And heavier souls

Ask and you shall receive

Remarkably

When there's so much to do
  and you're barely half-through
It's surely a bit disappointing

That the Sabbath is here
  and you're to be of good cheer
For God's angels you will be anointing

So reluctantly you close up shop
  yet remarkably soon as you stop
The way to redemption is pointing

Hospice

Very sick with leukemia toward the end. It almost seemed as if mother was giving up after what she considered a hard and disappointing life.  She still held her boys in her eyes in the fading light.

“I'm not planning your funeral,” the doctor said.

winter sun
stretched to twilight
faint stars
