Ears
I can extend sideways my
too small ears to
my door, but I can’t
quite reach
the lock. That’s quite
disappointing.
Pardon me for saying so
that puts us in a precarious position
~ seems we're out of options

Dismay, infused with fine
Direction to tickle
Discerning thoughts. Never
Disappointing with good
Devil in the detail
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!

Contest~Anthony Slausen~Treasure Chest
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
Form:
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
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...
Form:
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.

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 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
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.

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
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.
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 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.
Form:
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

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!
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 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
