You will find structure is overrated
Producing humdrum routine most hated
Better to seek fun and love
And spirit rising above
Don’t let those local mores keep you weighted...

Dust and humdrum mute my senses, blurring.. fading.. dulling.
Vehicles scream, jolt me awake.  I stare into the distance,
the oblivion. The bustle inspires......   and I write....

Daughter's coming today
Won't have time to play
Work to be done
But day won't be humdrum

Enjoy writing
Enjoy reading 
Enjoy laughing
Enjoy seething

See you later

an anonymous tempt to squash nevermore within my hushed dreams 
dare I lust fantasies featured with brilliant ingenuity -
just this once for twice is humdrum and never no longer howls

From 
my 
kismet
this time, I
will ask boldly, a
different kind of life to live...
Full of adventures, romance of beguiling nature;
but not again, a mundane, normal, humdrum and a run-of-the-mill life anymore.

honeybees in sun
hover through hours like honey
red gold and green blooms

faceted stained fields
fragrant like fumed fantasies
flaunting like fashions

hypnotizing hum
hot high noon activities
plum hourly humdrum...

Greet a smile 
To one you hate
Tears turn to joy.

Look not beyond
Focus what's reach
Start a step.

Reach what is real
Live with real joy
Life is too short.

No one can help
If you should live
A humdrum life....

Vacation
thrilling, expensive 
swimming, spending, hiking
condo, bistro, home, kitchen
cleaning, mowing, grilling
humdrum, inexpensive
staycation

Humdrum encounters of aging:

I walk clouds in a vision of epiphany
glaring cavillingly at a world beneath me
peeling back scabs of failure
a negative spiralling albatross;
a wider perspective of clarity confronts 
“life’s too short for this crap  ”...

Meet a man that fudges from the fence,
Little he says ever makes great sense. 
His views, all but humdrum,
That he deems great wisdom,
And he’s been hedging O for long hence.

ordinary is love
for
an ordinary man in life
mere
a celestial light drove 
darkness 
out, in a drain of night 
in swimming, his delight
a miracle 
of a dream, in a dare of life
where others still deny
in a dim 
There a wall ahead 
in a humdrum
they in cast
All in gray around...

                 Mrs. Claus wants to flaunt new bikini,
                       and Mr. Claus ride a Lamborghini, 
                              need a vacation away
                          from humdrum chores every day
                  Alas! few pounds to drop to look skinny!

Tired of the humdrum crackle castle-
Yet wired to unsung lungs
Full of gravity
And the prowess to speak
As we see, the world changes
In a hour glass

Equipment retooled, ideas emerge
History resurges in pattering waves
We are more than what we seem
This life has hidden dimensions
Beyond the routine...

I see it
I don’t like it
Not sure what I’m dealing with 
Nonchalance
Lack of interest
Simplemindedness
Envy
Jealousy
Misunderstanding
Or simply
The reflection
Of the disappointment
In their boring little humdrum life

Brilliant snowflakes shimmering on the pines
Reminding me the Christmas play has come
Now, if only I could simply remember my lines
Ooops, I forgot… Now the play is just humdrum

Humdrum and mundane attitude
Year six is a repeat of years three, four and five.
Excitement and enthusiasm is waning
Even for hobbies I used to adore.
A death in the family quickly reprioritizes me
I begin to search for meaning
This change forces me to change myself
Regaining myself bit by bit as I am forced to be flexible...

My best years are not my youth
But the years that I am calm
Specially happy cared and loved
Deeply into humdrum meditation
Timeless chess games with friends
Numerous midnight watching films
Endless time going to the woods
Lovely days watching the sunset
Most often in the sea catching fish
My daily fav writing short or long poem....
