Short Hassles Poems

Chaos
Chaos
It enfolds 

Clutter
Clutter 
Not to behold

Hassles
Hassles
profound daily

Life
Life
To grow be old.

Another day and I'm still riding my camel
Get there eventually avoiding life's hassles
Slow but sure
Avoid detours
Some temptations and your ideals get trampled...

hassles

i’m tired of coping
i just want to explode
and be free
and be me

and most times 
i want to be
free and be me 
with you

why is freedom
sometimes
such a hassle?...

The Soup's a great place to get away from it all
From life's wee hassles and occasional hairballs
Great peeps to boot
What a big hoot
Sitting in the sunshine under my pretty parasol...

My philosophy on life goes something like this
In spite of the hassles, end each day with a kiss
If no one's at hand
Send a kiss to the land
Appreciate the good stuff but avoid the abyss...

This Week in Baseball
highlight of my youth
Saturday Mornings
were never the same
playing ball with friends

Summers were best
no more hassles
and longer sleep
the heat was hot

plenty pools
cool us down
Summer fun

under
the sun

fun...

An observer would ask quietly,
Why do we write poetry?
We use illusion, in words to dazzle,
Our muse flows words, no hassles,
Each poem a fragment of society,
Writers always luminaries,
Beacons of a torch, to dazzle,
We scribble each verse, no hassles...........

Frank Castles,

Skull, guns, muscles, hassles,

The Punisher can right the wrongs.

None will escape judgment as long as he still lives,

Reckoning for what they have done he gladly gives.

The weak innocent thank God for him.

Do right everyday,

Lest he prey....

Holy place to embrace
Happiness around us
Heights of rapture to boast
Having great memories
However fights arise ,
hassles happen sometimes,still
Home is always the best



Celebrating First year in our new home...It's been a year since we moved into our new home......

You're a piece of puzzle,
You make my life complete.

In this world full of hassles,
With you I found it placid.

Having you is my gratitude,
For saving me from solitude.

How charming it is to have your love,
A gift I'll cherish from God above.

Let the music of life not be dead.

Acceptance makes all hassles minute.

Anticipate only good and go ahead.

Let the music of life not be dead.

Anger annihilates; fill the heart with love instead.

Insight can make everything cute.

Let the music of life not be dead.

Acceptance makes all hassles minute.

Lord
I am tired
You keep giving me new things
New challenges
New hassles
For me to solve
Well I ain’t the world’s magician
I can’t deal with anything you handed to me
Why do You think I can?
I am not who You think I am
I am so incapable
That it is not even funny
When can't I just do nothing?
And let lala be lala
Why do I have to change it?...

Feisty fleeting foibles
Tricky treating troubles


Gloomy glimpses gaining 
Pretty posture pleasing


Living lovely loiter
Moody mindset matters


Heavy hassles heaping
Prickly puzzle prompting


Lasting lazy lying
Buzzy breezy buying


Silly stupid saying
Primal pleasure popping

Acceptance of life—
The hassles and strife,
With moments of mirth;
No utopia on earth.

Acceptance of self—
In sickness and health,
With humanly flaws;
Just because.

Acceptance of others—
As imperfect sisters and brothers,
From birth and past prime;
Fallibility membership—A lifetime.

Through the monthly pains,
Despite the hassles of childbirth,
Yet,you were stoic,
You brought me to life!
In bringing me up,you worked tirelessly.
You placed your dutiful hands to acts,
To make ends meet.
You inculcated in me,the virtue,truthfulness.
You implanted in me,the stand of a virtuous woman;
The worth of womanhood.
Momma,you're my earth,my sun and my rains.
Keep my Momma,oh Lord!...

Sisters laugh together,
They love intensely,
and share sorrowful woes,
They help to keep each other
on their toes,
The eldest paves the way
that is less travelled,
While the middle child 
is a master at negotiating,
and soothes all hassles,
The youngest is full of humour
and doesn't take life seriously,
while the eldest protect her
fiercely,
Together they are a formidable force,
for good. bad, better or worse....

Clue

see the truth 
have a clue
reuse fuse the manger
recreated by a stranger
tame the shame
claim the brackets
rackets
eye glasses
tassels times of hassles
shackleton historian
explorer
arctic circle
turn cold
frost bighting nails
numb with firing guns
stunned with bees
flea infested turmoil
scratch the catch
sprayed with chemicals
to pleat our existence

Tiring of travels 
Tired of seeing new places
Even cruises with all their comforts
Just happy being traveless 
No more restlessness 
Just being happy in Vancouver
With its mild summers, mild winters

Tired of waiting in airports
Delayed flights
Hotels with uncomfortable beds

Time to just be restful at home
And avoid all the hassles of travel
Only reminisce of happy moments
In the past
Traveling in my youth
Europe, South America, Asia

Just reminisce now
Of past travels....
