Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment.
(Murphy’s, Sod’s and Finagle’s Law)
Problems magnify, it’s a mystery;
when I’m stressed it’s a cacophony
glasses break and liquids spill,
destructive energies test my will
If bad luck comes in threes,
my streak has brought me to my knees
chords tangle and everything tips
(curses hang from bitten lips)
Devils cast chaotic spells
to create our little micro hells
chaos is the rule of thumb,
rendering the senses numb
Amidst the rubble, some respite
then I’m clouted by a light!
scraped knuckles and bruising
(it’s a battle I’m slowly losing)
Routine is a soothing balm
when neatly ordered and calm;
our miseries, though, are sweet delights
to wilful imps and nasty sprites.

| Heh, I know how you feel about the whole moving situation. I just recently moved from tokyo, where I grew up, to a tiny town in the midwest and so far its just been a complete disaster. |

S,
well ... I think there is much in here to relate to. Your last stanza
actually made me chuckle .. yes, our miseries ARE sweet
delights to those damn little devils! I'm sorry you are having a bad
day. The trick is to turn these moments over and look at them from
a different angle ... hard to do when you are thrown for a loop, I know.
I will not insult your efforts by dropping a cliche here.
Just breathe, dear poet. Btw, I love the picture at the
top. (I know this will make me sound like a geek, but the
nasty little fellow's look reminds me of a Ferengi!)
Good luck with the remainder of your "settling in"
~Breezy |

Oh my friend, I feel for you. I understand just how you are feeling right now. I also agree, the pic is perfect. I hope things go better for you. ( Michelle goes for the flyswat to smack the *****e out of all the little imps making life miserable)
hugs
