Shenanigans

A friend’s best laughter!

End monotony.

Premium Member Clear Vision

You have clear vision; 
Monotony will cloud it; 
Your path is your own;
Stay off paved roads trailblazer, 
clear away the brush with fire.

Premium Member Life In a Drop

Clouded sky in tears
Sorrowful sunrise
Midday monotony
Blues at sunset
Sleepless slumber
Midnight madness
Nightmare alley
Rude awakening

Dolly Parton's Neighbours

A tenant farmer strummed one note
That some would argue Chopin wrote
Neighbours heard that sound
And plowed up his ground
Monotony sure got their goat!

monotony of redundant days
disappointed breakfast face

my trial of life

Premium Member Monotony is not for me

  
     Monotony is not for me
       Boredom’s partner, you will agree

Breaking Monotony

Leaves dancing in the breeze
Nature is blissful
When will I be
Creativity beckons
Come dance with me
Together we will break 
the monotony
And wish good bye 
to melancholy.

Loneliness

A sunset born out of winter charity. Two hearts sweating at the thought of monotony. Was it a betrayal too close to home? Roses divorced of thorns in a sea built on the tears of a bride with no filter.

Monotony

more danger than the outer 
                               internal enemies are multiple
                               until they can be conquered
                                    outer remains alive

Premium Member Le Mer Maids

Alone with fifty men six months at sea
torture, this womanless monotony
after lusty dreams
follow lurid schemes
curvaceous manatees look good to me

Monotony

Didn't like the taste of sorrow on my tounge
My bitter words, ashes in my mouth
Tears streak down my face, grey stains
on the sallow surface of my cheeks
Turns to salt on my lips
I whisper, every day is the same

smoothness
imbued with character
his essence
imbedded deeply
in every crevice
sweet oils
of everyday labor
lubricating
its monotony
burnishing
the hard patina
of life

Premium Member I Could but I Dont

daily tediousness
a lulling monotony
up to me to change this

I could learn a new language
rock babies at a day care center
teach cartooning

Instead I sit in my recliner
clicking the remote
staring at idiocy

doing nothing
me

fields of corn as far as the eye can see from horizon to horizon golden tassels wave at a never-ending blue sky allowing only occasional gossamer wisps of clouds to break the monotony

In the Boring

In the boring
U would have to make peace 
with us

feel complete with
the every day

a place where
my monotony is heaven
my hells yours 
& visa verse

can u accept this?

can you love us
in all the unacceptable

can u forgive
what i cannot be....

Boredom

Petite dear ..
Nowadays are normal
Inhabited by the vacuum , noise and boredom
And the language demilitarized rain
Nowadays wearing monotony
Is it possible, my dear ..??
Can ask from your breast to visit me ??
I want to give me ..

    Happy Days of the year 2023

       
      Song of my lone life to sing in melancholic monotony.
      Christmas- meet of Granddaughter this year tuned the song in sweet symphony.
       Happiest days of the year resonated in perfect harmony.

Break

Ive hit my limit
hit the ground
fallen over
without a sound

Today was it
the bitter monotony 
Stretched to my limit

Another day
still alone
I feel nothing
no emotion shown

And hereIi sit
Dark as night
to far to carry on
to tired to fight

Premium Member CHEERY CHIRR

   Call
   and chirr
   of crickets 
   non stop ceaseless,
    no pause in chorus 
   at evening conference.
    Flock in cheerful assembly.
    Symphony in monotony.
    Probably urgent call for mating.
    Frolic Insects rubbing wings forcefully.

January 1st

A whole new 
Irksome block of monotony
Placed at my door
By night.
Climb up or down as you please
Vacuous and silly I am all agog.
Some crazys have not slept
To herald
My wife, sterner stuff
As usual
Shakes off the ennui
And ignores the banal.


Note: Poem written long ago

Kara

A whispering soul,
Drapes herself on my shoulders,
Words like searing coals,

Welcome company,
A sought after escape from,
Life's monotony,

In her warmth comfort,
In her eyes understanding,
For this introvert,

Cautiously listen,
Docile with unknown intent,
Angel and vixen.

Grow Old With You

I would grow old with you
traverse the daily monotony
and the unexpected delights
that wound my heart
and make me bleed with love;
shed tears that weep in joy and happiness
knowing and embracing the thought
that we were meant to be
together, forever
and I would grow old with you,

An Insomniac

Light of day is not for me,
Night time hours have set me free.
Unexplored, its mystery;
Lacking all monotony.
Humdrum days became normal,
Feeling quite chloroformyl.
I'd rather stay nocturnal.
