Of jaded muses and digital distractions - POTW
The allure of mused poems,
No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream
Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,
And sparks and dreams,
Are ripped in the accretion disc.
No longer avid, but seeking meaning in the mundane.
No longer enraptured by

Be Lackadaisical As Often As You Can
be lackadaisical as often as you can
lie in the grass staring into the leaves
enjoying the float of the clouds
be imaginative
encourage your thoughts to wander
be fiercely protective of your me time
let yourself melt into the moment
listen to the sounds of the day
let your body rest any way it wants to
be lazily relaxed
be uncommonly silent

My Lackadaisical Muse
Lazy, indolent, slothful
O my heavenly muse,
Wake Up!
Light my fuse
Burn me with passion,
My creative mind lay dormant.
You are my keyhole
to this kaleidoscopic world,
to the astral plane;
You are my crystal ball
my Midas touch
my magic wand
my Aladdin lamp
my magic mirror.
Let me sneak a peek
at the workings of the vilest minds
The murky depth of the meanest hearts
The master

Lackadaisical Effort
out of sheer laziness
put forth an
inactive un-energetic
automatic pilot
approach at change
attampted thoughtless
activities involving little or no
for thought what so ever
putting forth a half-ass
lackadaisical effort at
rewiring negative self-talk
patterns of thought that exists

Lackadaisical
Listless as a slug, he
lowered his standards, as
lazy habits lingered.
Leaving a good job, his
life languished. With such a
lax demeanor, a whole
lot of time was wasted.

Lackadaisical
Lying upon the couch
Listlessly unmoving
Lethargic and sluggish
Like a sun-drugged lizard
Lacking the will to budge
Light hurts his heavy eyes
Liqueur played tricks on him.

Lackadaisical
Transcendental dreams on torrid currents
Sing to sleep the slow-dimming day.
My earth shatters mote by mote,
Each crumb of life more faded.
Burst up, bloom out, REACH
The world awaits
A moment of succumbing passion.
Be more than you have been.
Suck in the sweet nectar of each
Passing Moment
Shine with glimmering reflected
Light
You only have one.

Dizziness Is Lackadaisical
Dizziness is lackadaisical
Like my body on the floor
I’ve moved beyond the tangible
So I’ve risen on this divided line
Held up by ropes
That used to hold my throat
But you can’t see them
For your eyes cannot grasp
The idea of strings from nowhere
Well
I am from nowhere
And nothing
And no one
So just let go of me
