POEM STARTER
Compose a poem about the lost art of boredom.
Are we missing out on the beauty of being bored?
Still Silence.
There was a time when
A thing called bor-ed-om
Existed
Sometimes I wonder how
It would be now, to have
It once more
The silent anticipation of
Finding something to do
But accidentally passing
The time by trying to
Figure it out
Sitting in a chair or on
The floor looking up to
The ceiling as if
It could give us any kind
Of idea, as if it cared at
All
Then having your bones
Ache and groan for laying
Around for so long
Other than just getting
Up and living
βOh, the times
I suppose thereβs a
Reason the past is
Left where it is.
