Dull as a board meeting until he growled “Who ripped out the fart?” and then the room exploded in zany laughs

Dull Lull Could Compel

Dull Lull Could Compel

We did determine had been dull,
And between each one was a lull;
Asinine;
All mine;
Ended up case of push and pull.

Premium Member Life would be dull if it was perfect

Goodbye youth and your charm.
I much prefer my hard-earned wisdom.
Rather do without the menopause.

Encased in dull green Olive, sullen lime, broken Sprayed fog delivered Opening a dance filled night A hue of green, unknown shade

Premium Member A poor welcome for spring

grey clouds hang heavy lifeless
they hover there in a weighted silence -
timid spring bloom understandably intimidated

a blemished sky
smears greys to blurs

Premium Member When the Day Is Dull

When the day is dull with no sunshine
It becomes a very dull day
In the morning it begins
In the afternoon spreads
Until the sky changes
Then the sun shines
For short time
Then hides
Sun

A Dull Three - Aka Adultery

Love lived in the hearts of Him and Her,
 But distance shrouded fear over Her
 And to punish Her reluctance
 He gave another girl a chance
 And she brought triplets nine months later.

Dull

My
life
benign
so boring
nothing special now
I search in vain for excitement
I am trapped in a frustrating circle of the chase
I feverishly hunt my prey but my treasure always ends up being warped some how

Dull Ache


Faced with loneliness and death,

I wanted to cry with every breath,

Black tears frozen in my soul,

This dull ache keeps me from feeling whole,

I sigh and die every day,

This clouding grief just won't go away.

Dull knife

Your
Dull Knife
Cuts 
old Memories  
like a lobotomy 
I've drank 
you before
Your song 
plays in my head 
like a stones skipping 
across my face
My teeth 
rattle 
Like wind chimes 
in cold air
There nothing 
Left to say
But
I love you

A Dull Life It Is

death a dull life it is 
you die and lie there
in the grave as dead skin
silent, idle, sleepy
those who step on you
children that cut you
thieves that come home
rain floods that come
no control you have
apart from lying there
motionless like a fool

Thick Skull and Dull

Thick Skull and Dull

No Powerball Winners. Can you
imagine winning a half a billion
dollars.

Trump surely does have a thick skull;
With an intelligence null who is dull;
Truly tempestuous;
Mind a big mess;
Not only that gathered a lot of gull.

Dull Weather

There’s so little in this meadow;
The horizon seems to need medication,
Even raindrops have an insipid taste
I’m like a garden cursed
To never see the butterflies
For the flowers are all in their graves
I fear that maybe I had it much 
And to suddenly feel it less

Dull Reflections

sacrificed on the name of joke
became laughing stock of the group
my friends reflection in the mirror 
appears rather dull than bright

rust entered in the open wounds
scars that cover my whole body
friend is a word to use with care
growing ivy does not make them rose

Gloomy

It’s a gloomy day ~ All the clouds are grey They seem in dismay Sun’s not come to play The wind does not stay The leaves do not sway No charming display A drudging weekday What do they convey? ~ It’s a gloomy day written on 08.17.2021

Premium Member Winter Days


Short days
Dim Rays

Late dawn
Grey morn

Chill start
Cold heart

Earth white
Soft light

Dull sky
Blue eyes

White grace
On face

Road clear
No fear

Wind wild
Shoes styled

Lace tied 
Inside

Ice glide
Free ride

Air bites
Outside

Night creep
Sweet sleep

Dull Whims

No worry, no controversy, nor weariness,
no hurry, love is air and wind,
nor anything can holdback a speck of tis,
twilight, dawn is a kind of tide like sunlight stir and kind,
now, those ones can is a prey,
because tis are who fancy to rewind already fun,
what we cannot repeat is a frail story.

Premium Member Adriana

my neighbour was a simple woman
quiet and modest in all ways
she led the kind of life
that most would never envy

from nine to five she'd pay her dues
but then on weekends would come to life
she'd get dolled up and put on heels
and turn into a real live beauty queen

Boring Weather

The sun was muted today 
It did not smile 
Dark clouds blocked it all the way 
They were hostile 

The rain was slow in coming 
It did not pour
I could not hear it drumming 
There was no more 

The wind did not blow my way 
There was a lull
It's no wonder then today 
I feel so dull

Premium Member Sometimes

Sometimes I'm a gemstone
But I'm mostly just a pebble
I try to be a good person
But too often I'm a rebel

Sometimes I am colourful
An opal bright and shiny
Sometimes just a dull rock
From the bottom of the briney

Sometimes I am broken
And you see the diamond inside
Sometimes a fragile shell
Washed up with the tide

Premium Member Dull Enthusiasm

Refined on blazes
of judgments
haphazard
yesterday's zest
is a fortress
of embers

memorials burn
surrendering souls
into the fumes
plaguing your
emotions the
cinders awoke

allow the zeal
of the darkness
nudge you
to view
the yesteryear is near
a dimness &
not what
will last
