Boredom

  I write, for time is long,
My mind is lost to somewhere,
As I hum a gentle, gentle song.

 Oh, ages pass by the window,
And stories play over in my head,
As time continues to bore and slow.

Oh, there is work to do,
And I have wasted time,
But I have time to loose.

I really liked every part of this poem! In the first stanza, I love the idea that time is long, as it brings about an entirely different feel than the famous maxim, "Time is short." Then, in the second stanza, I love each line, but my favorite has to be "Oh, ages pass by the window." It's perfect. And the third stanza ends in nicely.
Both interesting and beautiful, I can feel a sort of peace emanating from this poem, a hushed lull of sorts. It's fantastic! :)

It must be poetry week or something; I keep finding all these brilliant poems. Haha, everyone is up 'n at 'em.

It is good to pass the time away with events that go from mind to hand, and to jot that down in such a leisurely way, as if one has the time today. I enjoyed the meter and rhyme in the concept of this poem of time. Nice work.

I see that you put thought into keeping a steady rhythm. Good job! Rhythm definitely makes reading easier. Clever wording :3

I understand this poem. I wish I had time to waste. I have too many things to do in a day. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

I found this poem to be quite interesting and thought-provoking! I've written a poem about Boredom, and yours is so much different. It's certainly interesting how every poet has their own way of expressing it.
