Greetings to Author Poet Ronald W. Hull.

Health, Harmony, Peace and Bliss.

Exoteric, exquisite, exceptional... "Aggravation" flows with class and glow to show the aesthetical finesse of a Quill energized with ichor.

I have enjoyed every word of this Scroll named, "Aggravation".

Much gratitude to Author Poet Ronald W. Hull for showing the world what the greatness of American Belles Lettres contents.

Reverent and appreciativelly,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Your introductory �They seem to grow as life gets more complicated.� ties in with the couplet �Like multitasking when on e is on the cell phone,� � and I like the last four lines and how they oppose each other�.especially effective was �drift off into dementia or just lose my mind.� That says so very much! ~~ djl

WHO DOESN'T LET OFF SOME 'STEAM' EVERY NOW AND THEN??!!! SOME MORE OFTEN THAN OTHERS. IN ANY CASE... I MEAN...WE ARE ALL HUMAN, AREN'T WE? AND WE DO 'GO THERE' SOMETIMES. IT'S GOOD FOR MENTAL STABILITY, AND AS LONG AS WE DON'T HURT ANYONE...IT KEEPS US STEADY AND SANE(SMILE!). AGGRAVATION...IS AN ANTIDOTE FOR DEALING WITH 'LIFE' AND I HAVE THE SCRIPTURES TO PROVE IT(MATT 21:12-13 & EPH 4:26-27)AMEN. THANKS, RON. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

My aggravations are nearly always a result of chronic frustrations. However, frustration can be a potent generator of creativity if I open myself up to it. The aggravation comes when I'm unable to do so.

I feel aggravated all the time, and I am short of patience, especially at the time like now when I don't feel well. I've even told off the nurses in the Healthcare Centre that they were aggravating me, even though they meant well. I screamed at them and was like a tyrant in there.

When I left I was feeling better and I did apologize to the few that I had screamed at but they told me it was fine and don't worry about it because they experienced this all the time from patients who were ill. But I still feel guilty about it and wrote a Thank You card to praise them.

Poor murses!!! They really take in a lot! They were multi-tasking as well because the hospital was short-staffed.

Dearest Ron,
so deeply sorry your aggravated . I do think the way you deal with it is extremally healthy however. I get like this almost everyday as a caregiver. I can say for myself I do unwind with herbal teas and soft music. Think about that gulf water on the cruise..
Hope your feeling better soon):

An interesting "take", this one and revealing somehow. I am not sure I agree with you, but who cares. It's your poem and I have little inclination to aggravate you. Still, on one point I think we all agree: we all feel aggravation now and again. How we deal with it is what matters.

Your words are easy for me to relate to, especially the last line of this inside look at you. I sure hope I didn't send you any of my concerns, and, if I did, it won't happen again.

Hugs!

Todays world definately has it's share of aggravations but then I look back at what our parents and grandparents lived through and the anger I have at my failure to keep up with the latest tech, the changes I see in public attitudes and lest not forget the aggravation of growing old and suddenly everything comes into perspective. Thanks for sharing Ron.

It's probably safe to say that "control" is one of the greatest frustrations humankind bears. As your piece points out, there are those aggravations you can control and those that are out of one's control. Perhaps we need to stay extra diligent that we don't forfeit our freedom of choice to those who would opt to control us. Are you listening Donald.

I�m right there with you, Ron. I prefer working in a controlled environment, just as I was in a controlled environment in my classroom. I couldn�t have it any other way. Some can; I cannot.
