Premium Member Peck Kiss

The dormant sparks lit
Evoking unknown feelings 
Buried in the heart
Waiting to leave lethargy
Melting the two crazy hearts
Form: Tanka


Premium Member Hurry Fall

Dog days of summer are lingering long, taking their toll as lethargy grabs hold. So I pray: Hurry Fall!
Form: Ninette

Lethargy

Like steam I float and drift, aimlessly
dripping like warm bottled water
spilt onto a floor, leaving the lazy
footprints of a dawdling daughter.
Form: Rhyme

Insomniac

Nestled justly,
the thief he slumbers
sprawled spreadeagled 
upon my bed.
By witching hour
his deafening snore
drives one to ...

Lumbering lethargy.

Done

No more negatively
More positive energy
Surround me with your synergy
Remove the lethargy
Nonsense is something we do not have time for its an allergy


Premium Member Thought of the day

comforted by familiar patterns
lethargy engulfs us like a disease
how long will we choose to live in bondage
when will we begin to flow like the breeze
Form: Quatrain

July

Stifling heat
broods on the land,
smothers any impulse
to stir.
Sluggish afternoon hours
drip, 
stick 
to the skin,
steeping us
in lethargy.

Energy

They(demons) only come around to draw energy
from you - leaving you feeling lethargy -
be mad not, smoke and drink
your happiness through laughter that is chink

                                       momentary confusion -

Premium Member The Sounds of the Seasons

The clamor heard 
In the urgent awakening of Spring
Slowly dies down
During the indolent lethargy of Summer,
But quickly revives
With the crisp tanginess of Fall,
Only to be subdued again
By the icy brittleness of Winter.

Magnanimous Zeal

M-agnanimous zeal within 
E-nhances the ray of light; 
A-iming to show spiritual courage, 
N-ot fearing the dark of 
N-ight. 

G-reat vigor ends sluggishness 
O-r lethargy that you feel; 
M-onday February twelfth, 
E-mploy a magnanimous 
Z-eal.

Sleep Deprivation

The lighting, it was over-bright
Sleep, now a luxury deprived
For here there is no day or night
The lighting, it was over-bright.
Lethargy saps the will to fight
How long can he retain his mind?
The lighting it was over-bright
Sleep now a luxury deprived.
Form: Triolet

Lost Lover***double Acrostic***

Lethargy and depression
Overpowers my once
Sanguine outlook on life. Now I seem
Taboo

Lavish lavender memories
Out-stretch and terrorize my dreams. An infinite
Vault inside my mind. Of 
Endless thoughts, of
Redundant grief.

Premium Member Lick This Lethargy

     Gotta get out and about
        I’m gonna lick this lethargy

     What’s holding me back
        is an utter lack of energy

     No pep talks, coffee, drugs
        or food on a platter for me

     Frankly, it all comes down to
        mind over matter, you see

Premium Member A Handful of Haiku: Laughter of the rain

Middle of July
Breathless days and sauna nights
Summer's lethargy

In their garden pool
Irises rise cool and tall
Like pastel water

Laughter of the rain
Crisp and clean like silver bells
Cool as lemonade

Larking breezes spread
The old secrets shadows tell
In idle gossip
Form: Haiku

Money As Life's Necessity

Money is not everything
But everything needs money
If there's no money cheese is sour
That cause lethargy and vertigo 
Our food depends on the content of the wallet
Foreign stock it's not working
I search for money and leave my land of birth
To make my life in affluence and favorable.

Premium Member Overcoming Tamas

Of Gunas three, Tamas holds sway,
cajoling consciousness to rest,
though the child in us wants to play,
of zest and zeal we’re dispossessed.

Heart contracted and soul’s stance stooped,
we have been by lethargy duped,
yet like the Phoenix we may rise,
embracing each breath in surprise.

The Stimulus

When I am all by myself
Lethargy possesses me
And the creativity lying
Deep within me, oozes out.

I become intensely alert
Inwardly and sit quietly
Pondering, over the
Meaning of existence.

I glide with the wings of 
Feelings and imagination
To soar into the realms of
Varied visions of creation.

Fallen Rain

The fallen rain
                          natural lethargy
                          smooth we sleep life ..

                          the sound of rain
                           pure allusion of dream
                          cradles us in caresses,
                          wet kisses..

Premium Member Susceptible

I am too susceptible to poetry
a perfect metaphor 
wakes me from stupor
and a clever rhyme
takes me to the sublime
while an elegant elegy
drives away my lethargy
but a mismetered sonnet
makes me hot under the bonnet.

Yet for all these wonders
I struggle to be free
and usually draw a blank.

Premium Member Summer Recipes For Disaster Planning

Caffeine distracts lethargy of wine
as wine attracts simplicity
refining caffeine's dark dualistic depths.

Some substitute weed for wine.

Others mix these all together,
serve over sturdy blocks of ice
refusing to unmelt choices
and hope for Time's most generous best.

Serving more than one.
