Is joblessness?
Soul searching endlessly
Roving depth in height

On treacherous quagmire...

Idleness
In a wintry-like night,
When I go beyond my life
And moments of being motionless,
I lie down beside,
Drinking tea with my wife,
Just to get rid of Idleness!...

Legend
Legend is a philosopher,
Engaged in metaphysical thoughts.
Gains nothing from idleness,
Enjoys reading and praying.
Never make him angry,
Dent not his heart with betrayal....

Boredom
Where is boredom born?
Where is it from?
Not from without does it plague us
From within beats its incessant drum
Nurtured on idleness
Distilled in weariness' flask
Boredom attacks without mercy
Wearing myriad masks...

Word
Study to merge the Word into the life
Converse and admit our sins
Consceince cringe when idleness seeps into me
Spirit draw your souls to obedience
Chanty round through our hearts
The words of our lord
That we will answer all in due season....

Be Still and Know
An un-lonely loneliness
separates the breezes
as they search for each other.
The kayak paddle stirs
a fading wake
consumed.
A silence forms
as egrets, fawns
and idleness
conjoin.

Get Busy With Life
Idleness corrupts mind empty,
dragged by devil to ditch of sin.
With virtuous life get busy,
divine treasure of bliss you’ll win.

Laze
sunlight pours
through the trees -
I stand to watch
as light kaleidoscopes
through branches,
filtered through leaves
a cloudless sky
mirrors
my unfogged mind
I see -
one of those rare days
where I glide
through life’s medium,
inured to the passing of time...

Listless Lassitude
apathy grows, dread heavy in the heart
laziness lingers on the spirit’s light
sluggishness gestures - cloudy, dimming hope
idleness, lethargy, dark shadow’s plight

Introspective Indecisiveness
Introspective indecisiveness
Ignoring ideal intricacies
Intelligent indigents ignoring ideas in idleness
Sage sensuous silliness
Soaring significantly succinctly, sassily
Sashaying sensitively scoring sensibilities savagely
Words winging wildly
Wildflowers writing winged words....

Idleness
It's the time
when the pen
doesn't move,
it just
stays stagnent.
You have
no inspiration,
no Muse
& you
wonder if
this is it,
is the joy
ride over?
Will you
have to return
to a lackluster existence
where you
don't compose,
just go about
your functions
with no
life at all....

Summer Idleness
The Sweltering heat exhibits me to lethargy
Lying under cooler I sup juice for energy
Without going out to play:
I feel like dipping in bay
Wish to swim along with my lover in synergy.

Idleness
trapped under my own weight
like a horseshoe crab with a broken tail
that’s been flipped upside down;
clenching helplessly,
unable to right itself.
i’m nailed to the ground,
paining and burning
under the very sun
that makes this world
a beautiful place.
waiting for the tide
to roll out and sweep me in...

Yield Not To Whims, Nor Be Rash
Let not rash ejections of the mind
Blind thee of rational occasions
For idleness renders you unhappy
Yield not to whims
Nor be rash
Restrain ridiculous mentality
For it is thee mind
That makes thee truth
Remain or disappear
Yield not to prejudice
Yield not to succumb
Uneasy and insipid constraints
Shall not render me
My Dignity and Integrity...

He Is More Than Idle
He is more than idle,
Idleness his Idol;
A sloth without bridle,
Along sidewalks sidle …
Now begun to languish
And had been in Anguish;
You can guess: Empty Tank!
His heart this morning sank;
Why won’t it in basement
For a rump on pavement?
A human to demote
Or send to camps remote;
One I would never quote
Nor in election vote....

Dust, Cobwebs, and All Sorts of Debris
There is dust, cobwebs, and all sorts of debris.
Years of idleness have resulted in this scene.
That is the inside of this dilapidated house I see.
I don’t know if I will ever get it clean.
This is an English quintain I’ve written for Francine.
written 3-08-12 for Francine's "Cobwebs and Dust" contest. Cobwebs and dust theme used.

Pssst Got a Minute
Pssst Got a Minute?
By: Tom Wright
9/21/01
So inconsequential, our minutes may seem,
They're given to idleness, and oft to daydream.
Rarely do we consider, that increments in time,
When linked with others, make a life sublime.
So allocate time wisely, giving to God each day,
For time is too precious, to let slip away.

Whowhenia
when I
a rock-chucking stick-slasher
patch-monger
was
there was a waterless
well
where we would await sprites and goblins in ambush
shoe-lace lariats
piles of rock for cannonade
this and all all the angels
at bay
for there is nothing gay grisly meaner than
restless
idleness
caked with efflorescing dandelions
raging raiding sun...

Hurried - Acrostic
Hit return or hit the gas; either way will do.
Unrelenting is the mantra that I've subscribed to.
Racing every moment, even during sandman’s quest.
Really, I’m not kidding; day and night I feel so pressed!
Idleness deceives me behind his simple mask
Exactly what was my goal when starting out this task?
Deliver me to a real life; that is all I have to ask....
