Ennui
by International Author Reneé Drummond-Brown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Stuck-up in irrational boredom.
Convalescence is an up-pity’s understatement.
Flatness, fatigued, fake and dry.
Insane because of extreme dullness in her
web of little white lies.
Senseless emotions of Sa-ditty-ness and dreariness;
dreaming of the day Calgon can’t take her away from
her tedious and weariness behaviors spewed.
Languor, for her too-good-self is an understatement
with her high-flatulent-self of having it altogether.
Well, what do you know?
She has just been shown,
that a green velvet couch, dark shadows
and picture-perfect images of two-faced books can’t help her
own monotony, exhaustion and deadliest-drunken-dreams (none)
when boredom flatlines.
Awesome poem!
Wow when boredom makes you flatline. I conceive boredom as a thought in my mind that births an unrealistic ideation that becomes and conceives births and expands across the spears in the crevices of our minds and yet we flatline.
Love love this Poem.
Author~ Poet Carolyn Coleman-Grady
I think this is one of the best poems by Reneé Drummond-Brownd and I have read many. The imagesare tightly wolven, the variation on the sense of boredom if not depression. A sense of sarcasim about the personality character. I alway emphazize the need for a ending with a kicker feeling. I like the last 5 lines but especially the last 2 words "boredom flatlines." I also learned new new words, ennui, & languor. Michael Lee Johnson, USA.

This written analysis of an extreme case of nadir, a lingering absence of self gratification, motivation, and plethora of nonessential goals waring with the Cognitive content of mismanaged solutions, is indeed a great write, the way the loneliness and boredom lies in the prerequisites of one another becomes a prelude to a rose that decided that it can survive in the desert sands of summer.
