Overrated

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

Poetry Police

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 Day

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

Enjoy reading 
Enjoy laughing
Enjoy seething

When To Be

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

A Beguiling Life

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.

Life Is What You Want It

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.

A Sweet 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
plum hourly humdrum

Humdrum Encounters of Aging

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  ”

Economist

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

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

Need a Vacation


                 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!

The Dimensions of Routine

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

Forced To Be Flexible

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

Best Years Of My Life

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

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

Strippers Union

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.......

Do I

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.

Breeze Through Poetry

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. 08/22/18
