Poetry: Boredom

BOREDOM

Sitting all alone one day
Wondering what to do
Picked up a pen and found myself
In the land of Kharmantou

The Kharmantou are little folk
Seldom seen or heard
They live in the nibs of fountain pens
Or ink that's not been stirred.

Occasionally you can meet them
If your mind's in tune
Or in some rare instances
When the sun kisses the purple moon.

Their psychedelic land's a pleasure
A sight to make you smile
Where grass is blue and sky is green
Which changes every mile.

The people dance and play all day
With feasts and show of skills
Like who can blot the page the most
Or make art from ink spills

So when you're bored or feeling low
Take a plain page and stare
Take yourself to Kharmantou
With its colours so bright and rare.

    Tastes like monotony peanut butter
    Sticking to the roof of my mouth
    Keeping my tongue busy and words adhesive
    Diverting

    television reruns
    the laugh track
    laughs alone

    rain yesterday
    and today
    one raincoat

    sitting at the bus stop
    the second

    BOREDOM

    When time is stagnate and the world is on hold.
    When feelings of anxiousness emanate from the

    DEEP SIGH

    In the middle of the sea, where the skies are gray;

    Marking the calendar, just counting my days.

    Nights are short,
