Boredom

If there’s something that will drive me crazy And if there’s something that makes me insane It’s just boredom that will put me in shame Boredom only offers wilted flowers I’ll just crave, making me a hungry girl Showing me the dark sky for star to search Like holding all plain black and white photos A vegetating state making me blues I would rather shave and paint my eyebrows All alone or with friends doing nothing Or an ending repetitions, refrain I’ll squirm out from grip of this banal state But boredom is wild, now hiding from me So scared of my repellents -my hobbies Creativity will drive it away March 5, 2023 9.24am Howmanysyllables.com 10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10 110 words 150 syllables 653 characters B--Forms and Words Contest Judged: 4/2/2023 10:57:00 AM Sponsored by: Sotto Poet Place 8 (up to 10 single w)

Thanks for reading again my poem for the second time my dear friend Vic. Sorry, no time or muse to write a new one yet, since I'm still occupied with unfinished school assignments. Just came to read you and other's here while taking a short break. Have a great day. Hugs

I love this, Len. Well-written. Though one line in particular stands out for me. "I would rather shave and paint my eyebrows" When I was 15 yrs old I was drunk and shaved my eyebrows for $20.00 (lol) Hugs Charlie

Great poem. I cannot write blank verse. I tried once and failed.
