Nothing to do

Bored.

School's out.
There's nothing to do.


Online.
There's nothing to do.

At home.
There's nothing to do.



Except:
Write poetry.
Read books.
Play with friends.
And family.
Badminton!
That's fun.
And in-line skating.
Video-games.
T.V.
Anime
Youtube!

O.K.
There's lots to do.
Maybe it's not so boring.
After all.

Author notes

Not my best work. It's really a list poem. I hope I capture the essence of boredom, though. Heh . . . . I feel guilty entering such a [dumb] poem in a contest. Hope I'm not wasting your time, Ephiphany!

    I came across this poem in a random search. I do not know if it is your best work, but it has a great turn. The about face from the way too commonplace and childish, "I'm bored" to the mature decision to enjoy all there is to enjoy made this simple "list" poem compelling and uplifting.
    Impressive.

    You say it's not your best,

    but I think you did a wonderful job expressing your Mood. Sometimes it's not that it's boring, its just our body and minds craves something differnt

    Thanks for this entry and good luck.
