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.

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.

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

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.

the madhouses of paris filled with retired teachers
got their point across
song of waterloo
this napoleanic labyrinth stearing
children to the brink
madame martina martini
academia nuts cracked open wide
I see a few on the cliffs of burndom
harping their humdrum at the gods of charred sea eternity
and wonder about the love they made

Something in the Times
today
about organizing
the strippers
Not a bad thought
These
women
provide
a break
from the humdrum existence
of many men
in our cold metropolis
Who out there in the darkness
remembers Cher's
"Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves"
Every night the men
would come around and.......

One tear, two tears more.
Each falling, reasons unsure.
Mind imaging heaven as each day passes.
Hoping to escape Hell, and my own
trespasses.
Feeling no way out of the same old
humdrum.
My heart has what it needs, so why so
lonesome?
In the quicksand of depression I am
slowly descending.
I reach out my hand, I am tired of
struggling.

Light Verse
Amidst the chitter chatter,
The cool breeze blows,
In the hubbub of life,
Poetry freely flows;
Listen to its sweet murmur,
Reaching you through the din,
As the breeze touches you,
Tingling your skin;
Jot down the soft words,
Slowly as they come,
Smile as it refreshes you,
In this dull humdrum.
