Boredom



Midweek Motif PU

the perennial child sees
sheep in the sky
horses in the waves
the chinaman in the peanut
madame poire's big bottom



faces in the branches
palm fronds dancing
ladies purses in the garden



kites in love
sail boats in the puddle
the shark in the bath

boredom
a lack of vivid 
imagination

sometimes
a welcome respite from
a world of  adventures

  1. Oh this is absolutely perfect..! Indeed boredom occurs due to lack of imagination.
    Beautifully executed :D

    Lots of love,
    Sanaa

  2. Madame Poire is quite enticing. Why can't I find a pear (pair) like that?

  3. Yes - as a person with a head which doesn't come equipped with an off switch I quite empathise with a momentary pause in imagination...although being a perennial child must have its advantages I guess!

  6. Hahaha! I don't think this child gets bored--though she may seek respite in song or in sleep!

  8. Luv this poem. It's like a picture with your very apt choice of images.

    Much love...

  9. The imagination is such a wonderful place - boredom I realize has to come about on occasion (as long as we don't awaken to the shark in the tub.)

  10. Yes indeed! A vivid imagination is certainly a good way to prevent boredom! Good one, Rall.
