Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Static

Laziness is nothing more than the habit
of resting before you get tired.
—Jules Renard

Cleaning dishes, washing clothes, and other chores.
It’s so clear in my mind, I’m leaning towards poetry.
—by poet

Static

I’m exhausted. Doing nothing.
And     I’m     crushing
it.         See me yawn -
it’s only            dawn.
Lazy bones, stretching, standing tall.
And     that     is     all.
Finger         pressing
(quite        impressing)
button on the remote control
(without      a      soul)
quite like            A I
Sleepy  …bye bye

sara Etgen-Baker July 17, 2025 at 5:15 PM the format fits the title! Well done & creative! Kim Rodrigues July 17, 2025 at 5:47 PM One def of static is characterized by a lack of movement, animation, or progression & producing an effect of repose or quiescence (Merriam Webster) :) Thank you, Sara!
