Leisure: [ph Ruined This Poem! ] Leisure, Leisure! ! ! ! Stop It! ! ! ! ! ....[ Deadicated To Fog Runner, A Good Poem Hunter Friend; Wonderings]

Rating: 5.0


I WAS JUST encountering "leisure", .....SO boring!
'Twas while sitting in a 'comfy' stuffed chair (snoring?) .
[I don't know for sure about THAT line-ending part:
"snoring", but I may have been.Ain't THAT boring! ?

I really WAS just feeling tired and cool, AND STRANGE,
as I rarely nap, or feel "bored".Need I, must I, rearrange...
my activities? ? The thing 'is', I was not on PH.See?
If I were on PH, how boring could it ever, EVER be? ?

And coincidentally, upon coming back to PH, a friend,
[Fog Runner] had sent a note into which he did blend.....
among other tidbits, ....some juicy, some dry, ...the following:
"Admiring your leisure, Bri."Was he, in jealousy wallowing?

Thank goodness for friends like "Fog" to bring me "UP",
from my encounter with "Boring Leisure".I'll NOT give up....
on making it through such lapses into BL: what may, in MORE....
years, become 'Terminal Boredom'.NOW here's "the score":

IF my daily existence ever becomes 'more boring than not',
from YOUR open window-on-the-world you may 'hear' a shot.
It may be only me, Bri, disposing of boredom finally, ....for GOOD!
The questions are: "Would i? "; "Could i? "; "Do YOU think.....i should? ? "

Encountering and encountering leisure, is so amazing but this is boring. Snoring gives amazing sense of feeling. Having goodness for friends is good. Goodness of friends motivate mind. Daily existence ever becomes 'more boring than not. Old age has its own impact on life. An amazing poem is brilliantly penned basing on perception...10

I am sure, from your window we will never hear such a gunshot! Before you feel terribly bored there would be some pleasant interventions by PH friends as the one by Fog Runner.....! Bri should not end his boredom that way! No.... Never!

OK! well, ..............NOT OK! MY HOME-HELPER and i have decided that PH is rejecting the word online from poems, just as PH does not allow a poem to be submitted with a website listing in it; but THEN PH gives a notice something like disallowed material in poem and one has to take out the material before trying to submit again. (continued) ..

A gunshot seems boring too. Why not self immolation while diving from a bridge onto a bed of nails. : -)
