When, What, Where, Why & How Poem by John Sensele

When frustration dares to shake your resolve
Collect your thoughts, pause for a moment
To chart a better course to solve
Issues and challenges at the heart of your torment.

When confusion clouds your horizon
Pull yourself together lest you should worsen matters
By throwing tantrums, uttering regrettable nonsense in the zone
Where common sense ought to clear confusion clutters.

When temper flares and at you she glares
Stop to weigh best options
To maintain a calm temperature until she cares
To stumbles upon a plethora of optimal solutions.

When anger takes over your thought processes
Play music, write poetry or go for a walk
To prevent you and your partner from making pesky faces
When it's sensible for you to talk.
