POEM STARTER

Compose a poem about the lost art of boredom.

Are we missing out on the beauty of being bored?

Presence

Buzzing in the mind.

Frenzy in the fingers.


You whirl and ripple,

twist and turn.


Like a disposable bag flapping in the wind,

snagged by the stray spike of a lamp post.


You are snared by busyness,

hooked by occupation.


One day, the bag tears away from the pole,

hurt, but free.


Realising there was ground beneath it,

a sun above it,

life teeming in the trees.


Learn to be present, bag of busyness.

For within boredom,


there is presence.
