Boredom's Bleak Ballad

by Jazzy D




Barely blinking, brain begging busy breaks,
Blunt banality blankets blithe afternoons.
Bored, I browse brittle books, boredom breeds
Bland, blustering blues behind buttoned blinds.

Blank hours bumble by, banality blooms,
Bubbles of bothersome buzzing nowhere.
Blunt minutes meander, maddeningly mute,
Bleary, I battle blah’s banal barricade.

But — boredom births bizarre brilliance,
Bold brainwaves break through bleak boredom,
Brewing bright, bonkers, beautiful breaks
Before bedlam beckons back.

Boredom: boring bridge between
Blankness and bold beginnings.



(I wrote this piece during a very bleak period during being stuck at home during COVID)

You are clearly an alliteration fan! :o)

I am punctillious about portioning alliteration when prompted to do so, and probably when I feel it is apt or persuasive LOL!
