Lackluster Shellacking
Feeling sluggish, shelled.
Lithely lingering in the dust and grime.
Palette grey and dull, devoid of crisp bright hues,
Brushes all furry, frayed, blunt, incapable of fine detail.
Apathy and complacency palls to gloom and doom in my room.
Inactivity and being non-committal, chokes the creative urge, to be stillborn.
But then, words and poetry flood into the brain during sleepless

Lackluster Is My Middle Name
Lackluster is my middle name
You see, I’m rather ordinary
To renown I have no claim,
I’m to be expected, customary.

I-n your daily performance;
L-et not your life lack for sheen,
A-im for the shining radiance.
G-od's love February fifteenth
A-llows your day to be brighter;
N-o reason to be indifferent, never be lackluster.

Lackadaisically Lackluster
You lack what I have.
You can't have it back,
because your lack is my gain.
Lacks define your success.
The less you have the better.
But, a life with too many lacks is lackluster,
a life spent lolling and loitering
is lackadaisical bliss.
It is a half-hearted half-life, ruined by
