The simplest of tasks
If done for the wrong reasons
Become tedious
But if done from the heart, they
Empower and provide joy...

Rain - A Haiku---

tedious fountain
a fine, windy rain growing
because of the wind

Being a Stabbot is hard work,
finding the ones that need stabbing
and repeating the tedious task
just cause that was how I was programmed....

I hold out my hands
much to my surprise
they are touched
and, I find a new dimension
What?
to explain would be tedious
I hold out my hands...

His new job required peppiness
and to be conscientious
with calculator in hand
running all over the land
counting pollen which was quite tedious

tedious hillside
A mighty stellar trees stalks
the quiet grasses

She is oblivious to the fact 
That she can make  my mind Tedious
Which makes me furious 
But imagining her smiling upon 
Makes my heart troubled as ocean 
On a stromy night...

A lim’rick I’d like to compose.
Why bother with tedious prose?
I know all my rhymes,
the genre’s paradigms.
The topic is good: here it goes....

Think we should all have a wee lie down
Coz in a sea of confusion, we could all drown
Life gets tedious
At times devious
To survive, just run around naked downtown...

What's transparent and smells like a worm?
Obviously, it's a bird fart that lasts long term
That was a tough one
Cat got your tongue?
Life gets tedious and we act with much concern...

A perfect day
Frigid, icy winds flurry
     A gray sky hangs low
Stillness abounds
Tedious, in quiet echo

A perfect day
To grieve, to miss you
     For apathetic cemeteries
A perfect day
To cry frozen tears...

He used to be:
   wordy, verbose, prolix,
   chatty, jejune, digressive,
   tedious, long-winded, repetitive,
   elaborate, grandiloquent, loquacious,
   pretentious, comprehensive, circumlocutory

Now he is:
   pithy...

Sunbeams boast on dizzy bells.
She shouts:
Deceive me not, it is a sacred tale!
Sin reaches for my life mural.
My lies are tedious and unsuccessful.
Smile short with your vulgar whisper.
It's dazzling, but I won't survive....

I find it tedious
you trying to lock me in
threatening to end me
before our lives begin
you didn't know
what I would not say
is I can beat you any way
I have a heart, unlocked and free
and a mind that stores the proper key...

Deer - A Haiku

tedious mountain
A small, romantic deer runs
beyond the petal
~
mountain tedious
A wild, pasturing deer runs
through hills and valleys

Emerald eyes staring at me
Staring at my floppy flabs
Staring at my rounded face
Staring at my too-small eyes,
Staring at flat nose,
Staring at my fat limbs,
Staring at my thin lips.
Jaded eyes all around me,
Cynical with tedious envy....

In their coloured anoraks
I see young people canoeing
swinging their oars as they cut and dip
into the frothy waters.

Around me, daffodil bulbs
shoot stalks out of damp earth,
and falling water clears my head
of office banter and tedious days....

Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
 Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
 Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
 Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below....

I'm a little bit curious
About the kind of wisdom
That brings understanding
The kind that brings peace
Which leaves joy in your soul
When life can be spiralling
Tedious but still beautiful at most sight
I'm just inquisitive about this hidden
 jewel called living...

Tedious season
This spiky summer is ready to leave slowly
for the snow-covered mountain retreat.
 It has to adorn its weird clothes with maples 
and cross the chilly river on the way. 
I wish the stream is many fathoms deep 
and to meet the following easier summer....

which drain energy
consuming time
