Poem: Says He's Bored

Boredom signals time for a change.

Says He's Bored He says he’s bored out of his tree Trees are to be climbed and gotten out of Boredom is as good an excuse as any Drop lightly off that last branch and look up Peace here in the quiet of isolated culture Sometimes good to be away from known things Relationships carry that taint as well, to slide behind quiet thoughtful foreign eyes Not always enough to admire the writing, wondering at the skill of words laid so easily to page What takes his breath away is not the rhyme or meter, but the bravery of standing naked with the truth
