Insipid Elan

tedious, tastless and unguided life can become a dread and a burden

The spinning engine got weary to life's demand

The green grass has fold his flair

The water has raised his wrath and command the rain to stop falling

Sailing his clouds to another world

Frozen life, oh how frozen life it became

Like piercing air that tear the cores of care

The prayers of the apostles are forgotten 

And the court of the universe is adjourned

I think this poem could be titled Soul Winter. I couldn't really see anything insipid about it, but it is a great poem. I don't care for the font, hard to read but the lines are wonderful.

The title an interesting contradiction, the layout ( font colour ) makes this diffcult to read...

[Aaron the Baron]

This is beautiful. Too easily can one regress to a cog in the machine. To go through the motions, is to forfeit life.

[Dr. Wood ?]

tedium is a cancer that crawls unnoticed into the psyche

Get your pens out and eradicate that monster

Great write Latifa, but hard to read for old fogies like me....I always use BOLD...I can see what I am writing

[Latifa]

i intentionally did that to emphasize the meaning of insipid get it !!!

[Dr. Wood ?]

I do get it...GOOD idea......I'll just have to buy a magnifying glass

They told me that if I sat quietly
And watched very, very carefully
I'd see the grass growing...

But they don't know
The lawnmower is broken...
