Best Bore Poems

No greasy treats from chippie van;
I have my starch now au, gratin
with blasted, deconstructed bass,
petits pois, served; in Demi tasse.

No pint of best down at the pub
I drink with chums now at the club;
Prosecco, or a Chardonay
depending on the time of day.

No picking up the...

The Suffering HE Bore

We will never fully understand the depth of the suffering
that our Savior bore on the tree of Calvary, 
nor the pain of separation from His Father that He wept through
during His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This Savior and Son of the...

The lies in her eyes are lost in love's twilight.
                       While an emptiness lives through each night.

A metaphor is such a bore,
When it is overused,
And words that rhyme are out-of-line,
When they are so abused

And those cliches are 'here to stay',
And drive us all insane,
But we continue using them,
And so we're all to blame.

It's like 'we're on the same old page',
Or 'talking...

The Suffering That HE Bore

We will never fully understand 
the depth of the suffering that Jesus bore on Calvary
nor the pain of separation from His Father 
during the prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This Savior, the Son of God 
what a tremendous love for man...

Recently, when I was bored, 
I meditated upon boredom,
Over a cup of tea.
And three instances crossed my mind.

In the classroom:
Once, as a student, I was bored 
And dozed off;
Woke up with a start
When the drone of the lecture stopped.
The lecturer apologized:
Sorry for disturbing you!

A game...

Bore Thoughts Galore
Niels Bohr
Studied physics and bore thoughts galore.
During war, our allies and we were calm.
His models were the bomb!

"Bore, Boredom" 2010
V. Ortiz Vazquez

Bore, boredom
How can it be?
Why at age 33?
What does it mean?
Surviving with a few “migajas del dia”
Not really living, just there
There

Bore, boredom
Few situations bring joy
Still secluded
Isolated
Not really living, just there
There

Bore, boredom
Moments of joy
Her and I
Written words
Visual inspiration
Joy

Bore, boredom
With occasional, polite, short...

I WENT TO WAR WITH A WALL

Don’t worry honey, I protect my life
With a concealed and well honed knife
No switch blade, just a steak knife we had laying around
But just like a switch blade it will bring a man down

Don’t worry honey, I know the...

Victim to your snares, you held me captive
Brainwashed me
Arrested me for a crime I didn't commit
Or maybe I did but was ignorant of "it" being a crime
Sentenced me to trauma and bitterness
Threw me into ward number heartless
In solitary confinement even
How priceless!!!!
Tears streamed down my flaccid...

Sorry, yesterday was a bore
That wasn’t me on a roll
It was the other me – John Winston – who wrote it all
But now I feel convinced I’m back
‘Wise-the-Prins-Wins’ in white and black
So please just sit back
And wait for more than just another rap
From this Kenyan...

Bore drain tucker   (stock water channel, cross country from an Artesian bore)

Waiting for a feed on the old bore drain,   
Maybe, might not ever rain?
Have me 4 gallon tin full of holes,
To let ole shrimp in,
Or crayfish sweet n old.

Bit of...

So you have risen
So fairly quick 
You want to heal us
As we are sick

But please now tell me
How I can learn 
That I'm nothing 
So I can earn

How can I forgive?
How can I learn only to give?
Nothing to ask
To be myself

Without a mask?
I cannot do...

He bore the nails
Our sins were paid now made us free
Of blood a trail
That leads each soul to victory
A king was hailed
A crown of thorns it had to be
Broken and frail
His body hung there from a tree
At that noon hour, all was still, then tore...

One friend a day,
One simple chore,
One minute away,
From another bore.
