If at first you don’t succeed
Don’t let it cause you distress
And if you still fail to succeed
You must redefine success

Until I know,
The name of love,
I shall always walk,
In darkness,
And distress,
O the horror,
Of not knowing loves name.
Let it go
Let go already
Live for today
Not for yesterday
Obsessing over things past
Just brings distress into the present
I’m not allowed to pet the cat
When I do he has a spat
Leaving a mess
Without distress
He puts it all on the mat
Russell Sivey
My soul would soar
across oceans
to friends in distress,
hoping to bring comfort,
whispering words of love.
For Catie’s obe contest
I do admit, I must confess,
My stomach is in great distress,
It keeps growing
As food keeps flowing,
Why can't I eat a little less?
Bessie, out hiking, had to pee,
She glanced about, choosing a tree;
To her distress
She made a mess:
Windward, she’d squatted, not alee.
chameleon's hide
borrower on running spree
lender in distress
The distressed damsel
A circuitous racetrack...
Sheer Liberation!

WRESTLING WHALES
the palms over pool
witnesses of crass distress
waves ripple outward

Chivalry is dead
Only damsels in distress
Mournful requiem
Wrapped in distress
Wishing her ache became less
Her hurt obliviate.
Time soothes but never heals
Hand of poetry wounds seals.

Why should you worry?
Worry doesn’t solve problems.
Seek God for your peace.
If parting is
Such sweet sorrow
I must have failed to notice
That saccharine sentiment
When I left you
Because goodbyes solely
Bring dreadful distress

Bring Color Back Into My World
Contest of Kim Rodrigues
I'm surrounded by them
suffocating
lip drooling
vapid
dangerous
distress from disorder
the devil in a bad man's suit
they are coming
they are here
Baba Suwe, in juncture of despair,
Thy joke stuns away distress.
Concocting in hearts lusty intense.
Now, we sleep when thou walketh to the dark deep realm.
Will Hicks was angry about rear ends
a sudden discharge cost him countless friends.
It made a stinky mess
causing him distess
until he started to wear Depends.
The moon
is a sacred guardian
for those in distress
living in a burning pit
that we call our world
silencing all fire and pain
to heal and overcome
the past
New social media address
Let her think she’d talk even less.
But she dropped her phone,*
And felt more alone;
None answered her call of distress.
If my melancholy can polish bliss
Sifting dust of distress for pebbles' shine
Crack a rocky lair to a gemstone mine
What colors do my tunnel vision miss?

In spring
one's mind turns
into jelly-
ice forms and
brain cells are
deep frozen: Cold
winged flowers surround thoughts
of you
as soft as
diamonds in winter.
With no one to impress
My emotions can't depress
But I can't forget my loneliness
I don't adress
Nothing more
Nothing less
In distress
Into darkness I regress
Damsel in distress seeking knight
Muffled cries resound from distant castle tower
~ haunting pleas on moonless night

My therapist says
That happiness is
A sunshine of orange delight,
Which explains why my room,
With its darkness and gloom,
Serves to fuel my distress and despite.
