Incensed
Anger Boils
Righteous indignation?
Or selfish frustration?

I grew up
with a #nit-picky mother
why was is a B, not an A
why couldn't I be
like the neighbour's daughter
with a perfect life
why couldn't I work harder
be more obedient
make her proud
I learned how not to be
a terrible parent
from her

One pint of water
is quaffed in one swift motion.
Alcohol expelled?

One pedantic gnome
inspects brand new fishing rod.
Shakes head, lure is sour.

It all dissolves in
Nit-picky arguments, who
Said what, when and where.

Finding faults
dinner's late
nit-picky
nothing's right
all the wrong angles
are you blind
can't you see
this needs to be straight
it needs to be moved just an inch
or two degrees
this dog's a mess
it's full of fleas
Your shoes need cleaning
they never shine

Mournful

I wonder
if the mountain weeps
as each melt
and rainfall
slowly tears away
what fiery magma
bestowed

#emoetry prompt for 9/29 is #nit-picky

Not slaking pit, nor
priggish #purifying fire,
can scour this damned spot.

in a flash
the fall
commotion
slow motion
disruption
abruption
not a moment
to spare
pleading
bleeding
consciousness waning
draining
draining
pale skin against
a warm crimson river
of dying
crying
the anguished #mournful sobs
of a mother’s desperation
