Today's Prompt is USE THESE WORDS

The rules are that you must use all of the words the way they are given, no changes !
You may use any form and it can be as long or short as you want, as long as you use ALL of the words !


Today our words are FRUSTRATION, TRADITIONS, UNDERSTANDING,
CHARACTERS, BUTTERFLIES, WINDOWPANES, INCREDIBLY, DISTRACTED,WONDROUSLY, DAYDREAMING,

OURS IS...

Don't mind my FLUSTRATION
with family TRADITIONS,
It's part of UNDERSTANDING
how CHARACTERS are conditioned
With lovely BUTTERFLIES
at my WINDOWPANES
I get INCREDIBLY
DISTRACTED once again
and drift WONDEROUSLY...
DAYDREAMING of love.

Wait I have another...

It's the CHARACTERS in life
That give us UNDERSTANDING
To INCREDIBLY face our fears...
Letting go of FLUSTRATION
No longer DISTRACTED,
make  some new TRADITIONS...
seek WONDEROUSLY
beyond the WINDOWPANES
enjoy DAYDREAMING
of BUTTERFLIES...

Tee Hee Hee
YOUR TURN
ENJOY

    I can’t be bothered with the frustration
    Of respecting the traditions that religions bring
    And my understanding of each different sects calling
    Is spoilt by the troubles across the nation
    As if the characters that you teach
    With their TV’s there like windowpanes
    Showing all possible joys and panes
    Are incredibly happy with the things they preach
    When confronted by a harrowing scene
    They send some cash and think it’s been
    Fixed wondrously easily
    Get distracted by their daily soaps,
    Daydreaming butterflies with no real hopes
    Treating problems queasily
    Their commitment is so very hollow
    Whichever God they say they follow.


    Think I was in a bad mood, blame the migraine.

    Daydreams float like butterflies
    Across the windowpanes
    That hide behind our open eyes

    All frustration quickly wanes
    Distracted by the themes
    Characters like aeroplanes

    Fly across in merry streams
    And understanding looms
    Of traditions magic beams

    Incredibly confidence blooms
    As troubles fade away
    Lost in mundane rooms

    Wondrously happy mental play
    When you let your thoughts astray.


    A bit better....

    People can be quite flitting characters.
    Incredibly distracted,
    Wondrously looking through windowpanes
    Daydreaming past frustration...
    Of moonbeams and butterflies

    Taking not a moment to be understanding
    Completely oblivious of the riches and depth
    Of the traditions which pass them by.
