Stacy Lynn I am
Temperamental at best
Useless bouts of anger
Venomous bites of duress 

I’m really not “that crazy”...

In spring time
I get mad angry
At the snow leaving
And I’m wicked caustic
In my temperamental
Waking from
Hibernating sleep...

Temperamental
					
The haughty feline
Though you freely give her love
Flaunts it as her choice

Frost is a fashionable folkway
Rather resented by Reason.
Offish, often obtuse
Snippy, snooty, sometimes sour
Terse,  temperamental

teriyaki tepee 
telegraphs telescope
temperamental tentacles
teasing testy antelope
televising tempting tempos
torturing terriers who mope
teriyaki tepee
you are the utter dope!...

Our Technology Fiend

Computer, dear, please come on.
Don’t be so temperamental.
Click, click, no light, no sound.
A pulled wire; oh, that cat.

scarlet moments
in late evening
turns
ash gray
as
temperamental 
winds gather,
display,
placing themselves
in concentration,
obnoxious
and overbearing
in nature,
intruding,
fully challenging
the outcome
of the night....

My family is temperamental... half temper... half mental
Some days both apply, but I try not to be judgemental
We should all try to get along
Help relief be prolonged
When the pot boils over, temper and mental are coincidental...

My family is temperamental... half temper... half mental
Some days both apply, but I try not to be judgemental
We should all try to get along
But at times relief's prolonged
When the pot boils over, temper and mental are coincidental...

The bride's long net veil floats across
Hill and dale, in gentle
Yet excited whispy array
Very temperamental

Angel wings decorate morn's sky 
For the lovely cool bride
Sun's pink hues color choice plus blue
Beautiful scene as bride glides 

Just a morn out on the porch...

We Became Temperamental

At times, took it to be  temperamental,
All about marijuana being monumental;
In head imbedded;
To Colorado headed;
Left on journey which was sentimental.

Jim Horn

Remember song, "Sentimental Journey?"

That might be a sign of your old age
like mine....

Blue meets you
Right along the horizon
Hurt feelings don't define you

Midnight tolls confine you
You cry tears of sorrows
Moonbeams remind you

Sun razed temperamental hues
Emotional rages flamed views
Feelings hurt don't define you

She withdraws again
Her temperamental tide
Her wavering retreat
Her natural divide.

He must wait again
The patient one, he lies.
And all that she had sated
He slowly leaves to dry.

Both know she'll return
But she's sure she won't stay.
For Mother's hand dictates:
From the land, sea moves away....

a lifetime of
riding waves
on a temperamental sea
sway gentle
then turbulent
sun then clouds
endless motion
the dance of life
memories
like
a string of pearls
glisten
in the light
one then another
and another

I blow through your hair,
My essence is air
I travel along
Thousand miles strong.

Shifting through the woods,
And trapped in the hoods
I whirl and whisk
Sometimes I frisk.

Brutal or gentle,
Often temperamental
I move and remove
Don’t need you to approve.

My only reason
To follow the season
Exercising my freedom
At random....

the system needs revitalization
in order for new creations to be vital creation

knowing this and more, i wonder if we could talk
then afterwards find a new root of renewal via a quiet walk

when we become reenergized, we can bask in the new ebb and flow
no matter the temperamental tendencies of real life, you are still the star of my show...

My
muse has 
just vanished
have you seen her?
She’s so darn fickle
one minute she’s active
and a torrent of words flow
then turns moody and won’t conform, 
retreating into herself, she sulks
like a temperamental teenager

Vacumns and Garden hoses 
What can I say ….?
Well, they are the bane of my life
With their temperamental ways

Both are stubborn with a mind of their own
Needing to control the situation
They both catch, kink and “just”stop
Heightening annoyance and frustration

No matter how hard i try 
Without success or luck
To not let irritation get the better of me
Preventing me yelling out F**k !!...

Oh!, thee temperamental fantasy!
no venture, since  when I cannot walk
to hazard?
nor life is a tale so to appear
oh!, put off thy fiery that now
may storm and stream these corners
that to thee I borrowed no such zeal?
nor rainbow that would be there to overwhelm?
not even a nightmare wakes to a risk?
nature serene the earth harmony
which fantasy I cannot?
due to relevance and love of refrain?....

A single solitary ovaline droplet tear of crimson 
Eliminated from a ravished
A tortured heavy broken heart
Descends downward into a vast 
Deep endless temperamental ocean
Diluted and dissipated vanishes into nothingness
And oblivion as it was ever there at all
Buried as overpowering consuming waves
Gather and fold
Further drops follow only to be washed away
Forever.
