"begird" poems
A large and ponderous, flightless bird
Was what I pictured of ‘ennui’
When first I read that warning word
In retrospect it’s less absurd
That self - created lethargy
Is like a ponderous, flightless bird
Boredom’s not a dream deferred
It is a state that you must flee
Be thankful for that warning word
One mustn’t let repose begird
Your ***** life, or else you’ll be
Much like a ponderous, flightless bird
Get out, and farther, from the herd
And risk the dangers to be free
Go boldly and defy that word
The choice is yours, you’ve no doubt heard
Part warning, yet therein a plea
To banish ponderous, flightless birds
Let action be your favorite word
