Bored Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

How can some people
Be ‘bored’ with free time?
There are few things as refreshing
Following a lifetime’s hard work
Rife with burdens and responsibilities.
How can one be bored
Being able to read, listen to music,
Relax and actually enjoy life?
Seems to me, boredom is a total
Lack of appreciation for something
Many will never experience.
Some open spaces motivate us, others
Stimulate revelation in moments tranquil.
And all of it should be valued,
Held precious
By those who are able to revel
In such a luxury,
As having enough time to kill.
