Five Folivoras
quotidian
Did I even catch 40 winks
prior to my yawn
before my spilling ink
onset morning dawn?
circadian
Cups – no more,
no less than four
my cockcrow
reanimation!
noctambulo
infomercials
Midnight snacks
time for sleep
or dream walking?
crepuscular
My body and mind
don’t always want
to travel together
before a wee nap
cogitate
mindfulness
astrally in
mindlessness
bliss and rest

The moments may be mundane, but your portrait of them is anything but. Excellent read.

i actually think this way on a daily basis
and i tried to make it as boring as possible
but maybe my choice of wording?
anyways, thank You for the kind praise and comments

Re: Re. Five Folivoras
It’s definitely the wording. I think a poet’s soul creates poetry in the mind constantly, before we ever consider capturing some of it to put to paper. So even the mundane is not at all mundane. I felt your boredom and your apathy at the everyday events you wrote about. It evokes emotion, and isn’t that what all good art does?

When you can take ordinary moments in the day & write them this beautifully, it's an amazing thing. I related to much of this...

This "existential suite" is complete in its perfection of the beginning, the middle, and the end, and the two intervals between them!
You know, Tallen, I was thinking of working up something for Josh's competition, but your eloquence intimidates me. Moreover, I think you deserve to win. I daresay, you have expertly constructed sophistication from the mundane, and each episode so aptly appointed!
Congratulations.
Sincerely
