Poetry definitely isn't my strong point, but since I'm bored, I figured I'd give it a shot. This is something I've written off the top of my head just to have something to do and something to post

Boredom
It sits on me like that thick comforter on my bed at home
My eyes cloud over and
I lean my elbow against the desk longing to go to sleep
Boredom
It makes my thoughts move in slow motion like gook
I watch as they inch across the tapestry that is my mind
Worming through the holes that schoolwork has left behind
Boredom
I look out the window, and think:
Wouldn't it be nice to have something to do
Besides sitting here alone with my half-formed thoughts
Staring at the lit pane of plastiglass sitting before me
Waiting, waiting, waiting . . . for the boredom to pass

I think you've done quite well for curing your boredom. I hope you keep up the writing, you describe things well. But just some friendly advice...gook....not a good word, but hey, that's just me. Other than that I liked the poem
Peace

Lily

hehe thanks for the advice- I appreciate it! I'd almost given up on anyone ever looking at my poem

I agree that gook isn't the best of words to use in a piece of writing, but I love the sound of it, so it's staying, perhaps unfortunately

The use of 'boredom' was nifty. Not forseeable, yet it fit in well.

I liked this

Hope you're bored again soon, Lily

Hehe thanks! Except when I'm bored, my writing tends to be sluggish . . . like it was in this poem, and that's not necessarily a good thing
