An ignorant maiden

Recumbent,

Dog-tired,

Knock-down by monotony.

Unambitious,

Unambiguous,

A simple book to read.

Chargeless,

Casual,

No need to escape.

Uncommitted,

Unfettered,

Imagination by the laws of argumentation.

Unstimulated,

Soulless,

Running errands,non-productive.

Anaemic,

Pasty-faced,

For the lack of sagacious nutrients.

Lustreless,

Unpolished,

For the words are incoherent.

Benighted,

Unlettered,

Unlike the capable madams out there.

The paroxysm of lamenting

Over a dingy imprisonment,

Stems from the dereliction

To accomplish

The art of edification.

The paroxysm of lamenting
Over a dingy imprisonment,
Stems from the dereliction
To accomplish
The art of edification.

the last stanza sums it up all, we are responsible for our own unproductiveness, sometimes I am guilty myself for it.
this one spoke to me, splendid

Thanks a lot Latifa. .You are a sweetheart:)

I guess some people just lack ambition and you certainly give her a dressing down as you painstakingly portray her in this very descriptive piece FBC

[fattycbreezy52]

Yes,this is what I have done here.......This review says it all.Thanks a lot:)

sometimes we do it to ourselves... we become ignorant to all around us and are completely undone by our own monotony... well-said, FCB

[fattycbreezy52]

Yes,that's true.That can be one interpretation too.Basically,it's about an ignorant maiden having no access to education and how her ignorance kills her everyday having nothing to do anything useful or productive.Thanks FT:)

Yes, I see that too :)
