Short Exasperating Poems

The poet is
The exasperating force
Of time well-spent
In mind and minimal rhyme....

teeming with traffic
morning and evening jams

Wily and creative in life, terrorizing in death
Understated breathless anticipation prances forth
jiggling quarts of kangaroo cacti exasperating my zany mother...

Lucy McVey was the most exasperating woman from M.U. 
Anyone with a lick of common sense would have run away from that woman.
So of course she was the one every guy tried to entice....

Wanting his own way,

Set in his mood
Inflexible
Unwavering
Single-minded

Exasperating

Awk, AWk, AWK,
Goes the seagull
Every morning
At 5.35

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's exasperating
Provoking,
Maddening

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's enticing
Alluring
Me

Awk, AWk, AWK,
To get a 12 bore
Take aim
BOOM

A beautiful floray
Gardens flourishing
Rambling roses
Thundering tulips
Exasperating azaleas
Springs fragrant grandis garden

expiring experienced excited and enticed enthusiastic emus
extracted exact experimental explosives from exfoliated flues
exasperating exam-free extraterrestrial expedition views
extraordinary x-rayed exclamations exuding as clues....

Broken bones, black and blue, bumps and bruises
Conniving, consticting, concealing, convincing
Demented, deplorable, disgusting,  distrusting
Expendable, expensive, exasperating, exacting
I am so used to being mistreated, used and abused...

Ethereal enigma echoed empathic eel ‘s emotional elevation
Elongated elusive elephant-like Edison expected ectoplasm
Extrasensory efforts of exacting Ellis effortlessly eludes evildoers
Exasperating empathetic eel and elusive ethereal enigma...

Im a little bit of what I see in everyone else. An exasperating inconvenience, ill-
disposed and argumentative. I want to hate you but then I would have to hate 
myself. Self-centered, stingy, and stupendously sarcastic. I want nothing more than 
for you to change....

Like birds, they flutter,
With a beauty all their own.
They are my children.

While never tiring,
They seem to go on and on.
Exasperating!

Their energy flows,
Keeping them going all day,
Until evening comes.

Now, the Moon shines bright.
The children still cannot rest.
They must go to sleep!...

That idiotic and exasperating, disturbing Rosanne Barr,
walking around gaudy and tasteless, acting like a star.
Blatantly obvious no sane person should be employing,
such an earsplitting voice, so obnoxious and annoying!

it is said
your challenges and foes
are on your path
for a reason

meant to teach you
spiritual lessons
it seems so strange
so inconceivable

yet gives
much food for thought
how one can turn
exasperating obstacles

into sweet divine intervention

Seriously, who's gonna love 
A sick girl like me?
One who is insecure
And as weak as can be?

Nervous and cumbersome
Exasperating and intense
Always asking if you love me
Nothing but a nuisance

What do you love about me today?
Am I a pretty and thin like your ex?
Do you like who I am?
Do you see me just for sex?...

Rain, Ocean, Water

When it rains on the ocean I get frustrated
There becomes too much water 
Too many drops to be counted
What makes the task even more exasperating
Is the fact that waves and drops move around
Never stay in one place
When it rains things get wet
Water helps me to forget
It is always on the mind
Rain, ocean, and water must be inventoried
I save rivers and lakes for a later date
But that’s another story...

The soil, moist yet infertile - baron.
As the click of the season is heard,
The seed of forgiveness lays,
Unperturbed.

Glorious rays of golden magnitude,
Against the sky's vast charcoal sphere, 
The terror was imagined,
Nothing but fear.

Furious, flowing breath,
Enters the seed, exasperating life.
The hatred vanishes, removed,
As is the knife.

The sees blossoms,
In new growth,
Maturity and courage surrounds the seed,
Forgiveness is felt, by both....

We want to be quirky, zingy, weird, and crazy
Because interesting, exciting and enthusiastic sells.
We want to be someone who is noticed or applauded.
If we cannot have that, can we at least have one-of-a-kind?

We want to be exasperating, conniving, mystical, and ethereal.
Mystery surrounding us in a swirling orange cloud of joyous confusion.
We are the world's women; we will have to be plain soon enough.
After our children arrive, and we try to fit into society so they will too....
