Like Poison

 

It opens doors,

Slips through windows.

It’s like a shadow,

Never quite there,

Always behind,

Silently stalking its prey.

It strikes quickly,

at any moment.

Its poison works instantly

And boredom has set in.

As i was reading i was anxious, feeling the suspense, wondering where you were going with it. The end delivered the excitement. A unique comparison- poison and boredom. Very clever and fitting.

Brilliant!!! LOL
I wasn't sure where it was going, but I'm glad I found out. I can imagine boredom being as contagious and toxic "Like Poison"! Great short write.......

A great poem.
Many people have attempted to write about boredom,
and many boredom poems have been good,
but none of them as good, short, and to the point as this one.
It gives good suspense........
keep up the good work.

Short sweet and to the point.

Wow, pleasantly surprised for a short poem. Your prose is well polished and powerful... concise and to the point, while not being too brief. Your theme is all to true as well, as I'm sure most people can identify with a little introspection of their own. Great job. Take care and thanks for sharing! =o)
