It is not living,
This habit of being bored,
This jaded ennui.
Laziness, ingratitude
Have settled deep in that heart.
I truly hate the complaint, “I’m bored!” There is so much to learn about this wide world in which we live; there are so many books to read; so many skills to gain; so many places to go; so many people to meet. That’s what I have to say about that: Banish such a stupid thought!
This tanka is a response to the prompts given today at Three Word Wednesday:
- Bored
- Habit
- Settle
Please play along, if you’re so inclined. Feel free to simply use these three words in a blog post, a short story, or a poem.
