Daily writing prompt : What bores you?


Aggressive speakers

filled with hot air

thinking themselves a commander

extending their fangs with a flair


A jack of all trades

a master of nothing

running in circles

all the time bluffing


There is silver lining

in listening to these speakers

my brain takes a vacation

destinations are keepers


Through the years

been in many a meeting

eyes wide open

while actively sleeping


One thing to keep in mind

that some speakers are smart

providing frosted and creamy donuts

at the start


My favorite words

meeting adjourned

now back to productivity

new things to learn

  1. Oh, I love this! ‘my brain takes a vacation’ is my favorite line. I remember being at work and having to attend meetings with dynamic speakers who were going to revitalize us and provide new ideas, blah, blah, blah. Too bad we didn’t think as highly of them as they thought of themselves.

    • Thank you. I also spent many days in meetings with uninspiring speakers with huge egos. I am retired now and do not miss any of those meetings. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
