Hi miki
This is an interesting prompt. I find it somewhat challenging
Time constraints? Word count and such?
I'm wondering if you could post an example?
also..
May one respond w/ a spoken word drop?

Kriticool, thank you for letting me know it's not clear enough, I'll try and remedy that.
First though, yes on the spoken word but words must be posted alongside it.
For the frustration rant..I want you to simply imagine having about a minute to expel whats on your mind and use somewhere around 60 words..like if you had a soapbox to the world for a minute.
If you still feel an example would help you then I'll come up with one though

I Need An Uzi
This fucking
clap trap
mis-hap
walking lonely
world of phony
bull crap
flat pack
what's the way
and who can show me
bureaucrat
plastic twats
in top hats
at least I own me
hostages , hi-jacks
how's this shit
still un-folding
legislation , degredation
we all give
as their taking
de-volution
no inclusion
lack of fusion
to this nation .

Shut up and be silent,
You're talking way to loud!
Can't you see I'm dying?
As only a teenager can complain,
When all the world has gone to hell.
So it seems,
In my little brain.
Is it all my fault?
I let you down,
I'm such a child,
To not understand your wants.
Your wants to much.
You're to loud.
So just shut up,
And close that mouth.

Sick of waiting on the man
To tell us we can
Who the fuck are you
To say what we can do?
So many named man and wife
Only half last for life
You can marry in vegas
You tell us freedom's too dangerous
Fucking hypocritical bigot
Time to get with it
Noone is hurting you
We just want our rights too.

Hi again miki
Sorry I was misunderstood. But I didn’t post that it wasn’t clear enough. But yeah, for sure, I’d still appreciate your example…or let me know via this thread or PM
that the above posts thus far are acceptable.
BTW…Paul, karrabear, becsta…nice drops so far
Thanx.

Even a Minor Cut Hurts
do nothing Congress--
did nothing to prevent
sequestration...
furloughs and budget cuts
are visible by-products
inflation, the product
medical and educational assistance -
included in the cuts
is it fair to a returning vet?
wages and cost of living allowance
lie dormant for years
while you, dumb fat-asses in Congress
shamelessly raise your paychecks
empty promises - politicians at their best

here is a link to a poem I did that would fit this comp criteria; frustration can be mixed with sad, anger, hurt, hopelessness..whatever.

SIXTY SECONDS OF FRUSTRATION
Each day brings
Annoying things
Child at home sick
Late for work
Boss chews you out
Traffic nightmare coming home
Too tired to make dinner
Feed the children
Go to bed alone
The next day is a repeat
Not in every way
Being pecked to death by chickens
Is a better way to say
Give me a tradgedy
I can rise above that
Give me small messes
And I sink fast.

i am a puppet on strings
my puppeteer has no clue what he's doing
its eternally aggravating
no matter what, i can do nothing
my life is controlled by everyone else
but wait,what is this?
a razor.
no one would have thought i would ever take it to my own skin
yet i did.
and the release i got from it was unimaginable
the blood flowing from my arm
and for once
I
had control.
