The Lament of the Bored Bard

Lo! The moon hangs low, a pallid specter,

Its light a feeble echo of forgotten passion.

In this dim chamber, ink-stained and weary,

I, too, languish—a poet bereft of inspiration.

The quill, once poised for grandeur, now trembles,

Its nib tracing lackluster lines upon parchment.

For what is poetry but a sigh, a wistful whisper?

Shall I pen another ode to daffodils? Nay.

Give me storms, tumults, and love unrequited!

Let my verses crash like thunder on the cliffs.

Yet here I sit, mired in the mundane,

Crafting couplets as dull as a banker’s ledger.

Oh, for the fire of Prometheus!

To steal from the gods their celestial metaphors.

But no—my muse is a fickle mistress.

She flits away, leaving me with platitudes.

Perhaps I shall write of tea cozies,

Or the melancholy of mismatched socks.

Verily, these are the stuff of epic sagas!

The world awaits my riveting account.

Fear not, dear reader, for I shall persevere.

Though my inkwell runs dry, my spirit soars.

For even in the mundane, there lies a spark,

A hidden gem awaiting the poet’s touch.

And so, I raise my quill once more,

To wrestle boredom into submission.

Let the heavens weep, the earth tremble,

For I am the bard—the master of ennui.
