To conquer frustration one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles. ~T.F. Hodge
I got this prompt from Rip the Page by Karen Benke. I purchased the book after I saw another idea used by another slicer!
Frustration
Frustration, with her sick sense of humor,
waits to appear until I am trying
to accomplish a task.
She giggles when something
is beyond my grasp.
She chuckles when I stumble.
She brings along her close friends,
annoyance, irritation, and exasperation.
They speak in hushed whispers
secretly laughing at my inability
To complete the job at hand.
Together they mock me,
unknowingly make me more resolute.
Rita DiCarne 
Great twist at the end. I know annoyance and exasperation well, so yes. Very nice.

This post is not getting enough attention. You described frustration perfectly. I love how you called out her friends and, in the end, vowed to win! Superb personification!

Your poem is excellent! I related to every word–especially the last line: “unknowingly making me more resolute.” Beautiful and strong. I love it.
