Mindnumbingly spent
Bored by too much stimuli
Give me some relief

Your mom's relief.

I liked it, Maso. Good stuff. Captured the essence of boredom very well.

For some reason, I didn't think such a strong word as "minddumbingly" would be found on such a simple poem as a haiku. Don't know if that makes sense.

Really nice, Mark.

I liked it, Mark. I need some relief myself.

Sancho,

Thanks mate. I went for quality as opposed to quantity

Rose,

I didn't think such a strong word as "minddumbingly" would be found on such a simple poem

Which is exactly why I wanted to use it. Of course, it is an invented word but one I've found occasion to use. Glad you liked it.

Chris,

I am bothered sometime by the fact we are surrounded by so much stimulation yet so many people claim to be bored. This is where this little haiku came from. I am presently putting together an article on the same subject.
