As people think but—
Cruel and tearing—a man sitting
In a rocker, most troublesome of all to woman

Shipwrecked

such painful ecstasy
such troublesome want
to care so much 
to want to be with so much
some wonderful creature
who feels no love for you

Covid-19 Final Fling

I went to the morgue with a wreath
They told me she's down on the heath
My troublesome mask
Just ruined my task
Wreath in hand, I tossed down my teeth!

It's been a rough night
Troublesome racoons ~ I didn't get a wink...

Premium Member Think Outside the Box

rumbustious, quick-tempered and quarrelsome
turbulent and troublesome

redirect all that energy
and strive rather to be fearlessly awesome

Mercury In Retrograde

Mercury in Retrograde
The stars play
troublesome pranks.
Send us back where we began
back again.
We crash we wake
and seethe,
like the pull from the moon 
at night
on sand.

There once was a troublesome brother Who was mean to his dear old mother She paddled him hard Out in the back yard Better a paddling than the druther.

Three Words

An unpleasant emotion so strong is the fear that pursues us lifelong of a troublesome phrase that is certain to faze. What's the phrase? Just three words: “I was wrong.”

Toilet Seat

Toilet Seat

This again I may have to repeat
What if I were a troublesome toilet seat
Instead of up and down one of these days
I actually would have moved it sideways.

Skyscraper - the Raindrops

Skyscraper: 

The raindrops 
Falling over my bed,
Upon the eaves of my bedroom roof,
Sound like an army of cat paws treading lightly
Lest they disturb some troublesome foe,
When all I can think of
Is the rain.

Premium Member If a Task Is Difficult

If a task is difficult, tough, laborious and hard.
Give it to a singer, a dancer, a poet, a bard.
Let them change it from troublesome to something fun.
Before you know it, you will be dancing, and the task will be done.

Every Human a Documentary

Boiling head
troublesome desires
searching hands	
open mouth
storehouse belly
restless limbs
curious camera eyes
laboratory tongue
test tube nostrils
and software brain
but no device for replay

Living For Others

What’s the purpose of life? For our fellow-man’s sake. I am willing to do this. Please make no mistake. But a thought comes to mind of a troublesome kind: For whose sake will the others live? What is your take?

Dimension of Love

Who created human race!
God's power I can not face?

Why can't I sometimes relax?
Just have to face troublesome facts

Hearing voices, voices, voices
Made some rather costly choices

Getting rid of Satan's hate?
Something which to celebrate!

Troublesome Times

Troublesome times
By Margaret L. Campbell

Troublesome times
You and me
Tough it out
Can we try?
What to do?
Make a stand
Love you so
Makes me cry
Feel really bad
Dry my eyes
Pain never subsides
Though it hurts
Could we change?
Time to grow

Premium Member Rats

Rodents that stealthily invade a home,
Agile and able to crawl through tight spaces.
Troublesome pests that chew holes and leave droppings,
Scurrilous scavengers with beady-eyed faces.

Unanswered Questions

Ceaseless questions
unsatisfying answers
stressful ideas
troublesome thoughts
truth-
is nowhere to be found
lies-
are all over
whilst doubts take over
deficiency of certanty
what
why
how
dominate
while quest and thirst rule.

Troublesome Nights

We're here to help each other
and that's all I could ever ask
It eases the pain
even only for a little while
The little words mean a lot
even with long spaces
But that's okay
because we come right back
and give each other self-worth
on these hard troublesome nights

Premium Member Scented Scoundrel

“I weep at his words and you scowl.”
“what could be so troublesome my dear
that reading such, you’d shed a tear?”

“He writes of love quite flowery
sly hints about my dowry.

“Of a love he lost in the distant gloom.”
“of love notes tinged with another's perfume.”

Premium Member The Sound of a Breath

Sit still; block out all the noise

        Discard your troublesome woes

                 Take a moment of silence...

                          to hear yourself breathe!

Premium Member Traumatized Toddlers

Those thugs, that try to teach tiny tots, to taut taunting tautogram tales, to tiny, terrified toddlers. 
They think that telling tales to toddlers through tautogram tales, teaches them to trust tormenting teasing troublesome thugs.  That's truly traumatizing to those tiny toddlers.

Moments In Movement

Moth wings thunder on windowpanes.

The distance between a screech owl
and your dreaming ear - exactly one heart-beat.

You can disappear under fingertips
that love you.

A woman is a troublesome thing.

Every drop of rain
speaks a language of aftershocks.

Blood eventually weighs you down.

Someone To Talk To

I need someone to talk now 
I need someone here
I need someone to talk to
To calm my fears
To help me see all is well
I need somebody to help me calm down 
To help me understand that they need time 
It may be hard and troublesome
Although I have to see that everything will turn well
With them and me
