Howl – Just Jot It January – Frustration

 

For Linda’s challenge:

Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 5th, 2025

***

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 5th, 2025 is “frustration.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

***

So many things can be frustrating to us, from our daily life, to our health and dealing with illness and trying to explain what’s happening to doctors. Sometimes you get information from one, then another comes into the picture and gives more advice and suggestions which are totally different from what the other one said. Pretty soon you’re confused about it all and so frustrated you just want to scream.  … or Howl!

And then there’s the outside our own personal bubble – the world and all the things that can and do go wrong.

Here’s a poem I wrote a long time ago about so many things that are frustrating at times.

HOWL

Howl at the moon

Howl at the stars

Howl to the night

Howl against wars

Howl at injustice

Howl for peace

Howl out the pain

Howl for surcease

Howl for humanity

Howl out frustrations

Howl for your love

Howl for all nations

OCTPOWRIMO – POEMS – DAY # 26 – NINE HOURSIMG_20150928_151453

For today’s prompt, we were to do a poetry form called a Loop. I did one once before, but it was maybe a simplified type. This one today…Well, let me tell you…I’ve been pretty steady at it, trying to get something to come together, and in the right form, for NINE HOURS already! I’m done…no more Loops for me. It is just not my kind of writing. So, of course I wrote a poem about it…in my own style, and it came together in about 5 minutes. Maybe it shows, but I’m happy with the way I write poetry, learning a little at a time, trying to improve, and understanding that there are just some I cannot do. 🙂  Here’s today’s offering!

NINE HOURS

Nine hours in…I can’t even begin to

Write what I want to say.

Lots of ideas, all good for nothing,

So I threw them all away.

I’ve tried the Loops, and jumped through hoops, but

The words won’t come together.

This kind of poem is not my scene…

I’ll blame it on the weather.

RANT

RANT

Ok, time for a little rant on here…

I love to get comments on my blog. I also like to leave other bloggers a comment now and again.

The problem is…sometimes I can’t. It’s probably just me not knowing how to work things, but I try.

So, I like what someone has written, and I type in a comment, fill in the blanks of name, etc. and click on the post comment icon. Then I get a message that the comment can’t be sent.

What? Why?

They never give an explanation of what you did wrong, or why it won’t go through. So I try again, retyping my comment.

Same thing happens. I may do this several times, before finally giving up. GRRRR

Then there are some blogs that have some comments on them from people, but I can’t find anywhere on there of where to leave one…so how do these comments even get on there?

And, on another blog site (I won’t mention where, but it’s initials are BS) it is impossible for me to figure out how to comment on those, what with the g+ stuff. I don’t get it at all…and even I have a blog on there. It is too confusing, so no wonder I never get followers or comments there. I have loyal readers there, according to the stats and views, but I don’t know who they are, or did they follow, or what? I appreciate everyone who does read my blog, over there, and over here too. At least over here I get comments occasionally. Thank you!!!

Well, just needed to say all this.  … Feel better? … Yeah, a little! 🙂

Calm down!!! Here’s a picture of Weena! Zen Cat! ❤

STRINGING BEADS

Posted on by

STRINGING BEADS

Nothing, nothing, nothing will come

It’s driving me batty…I’ve come undone

My inner critic is laughing, it’s true

But really and truly, I’m feeling blue

No verses, no prose, not even a pun

Who ever said that writing is fun?

My mind is full of tripe and nonsense

The words are there, but they make me wince

I string them together by one and twos

Then scratch them out, too scattered to choose

How many days must this go on?

The more I try, the more I’m alone

My muse, I think, has gone on vacation

Leaving me here with no inspiration

Can’t focus on anything…my thoughts on the run

And until I catch them, the race is not done

So, now I continue to sit on the fence

Which leaves me feeling frustrated and tense

Hey, wait…wait just a darn minute

A break in the clouds…I think I’m still in it

I have an idea, and it may be silly

But, no matter the trail be rocky and hilly

I’ll give it a try…see where it leads

Thread words together, like string through the beads
