It's been so long - I hardly remember it now.
#vss365
I slipped into #lethargy
Like an old bath robe
And dropped
Into the pile
Of wet leaves
Gathered against
The rocky shore
Thoughts rolled
Like the surf
In
Out
Tumbled
In turmoil
Then gently lapping
A fine foam
Over bits of sea glass
No one could see
Which made it easy
To set a trap
For you
"I don't know why I'm so tired," he yawned and stretched his arms.
"I do," his wife replied.
"Why?"
She pulled a small bottle out of her purse and looked at the label, "It says here that #lethargy is one of the first symptoms of exposure to this particular toxin." #vss365
Foggy marshland
drooping dreary willows sigh
lethargic toads slowly hop and plop,
liberty drifts softly in pollen’s sift
brown owls vaguely hoot and scoot,
gray cattails stand empty
burdened by seasonal blues.

#vss365 Well, "lethargy" fits my mood today! I should be reviewing my income tax, but I'm too "lethargic" so I'm rebelling and putting it off till Friday.
You chose to forget the regrets, the #lethargy of the mornings after, thunderous headaches and a weak hand reaching for the dregs of the bottle where no-one ever really found redemption.
"Good times," you say, and look at me like you're waiting for agreement that isn't coming.

a guy on an app says:
"there is a breaking news alert"
I listen for a minute
then I move on
a bit later, he says it again
being pelted by tragedy
like bullets in a target
making me lethargic
to the point of not caring
that's their target, isn't it?
break hearts & spirit?
He was in mourning, of course. Dead wife and all.
No wonder he seemed so tired, so #dreary. So #lethargic.
They smiled sadly, sympathetic, understanding.
But they didn't hear the midnight steps. The moans.
They didn't know her like he did.
"Till death," he whispered.
If only.

He felt it the moment he stepped into his flat. It was cool and dark inside. His briefcase slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor; he barely noticed. He had just enough energy to make it to his recliner. His lids fell shut.
As the #lethargy took over, he smiled. Let the weekend begin.

Love this! Reminds me a bit of H2G2 and that empathy gun.
I hit him with the #lethargy gun. He flops to the ground and doesn't move for a month. He looks peaceful down there. Lying still in the bed and staring up at the ceiling. He could be a delicate doll. I curl up next to him and pull the covers over him. I know what's going on inside his head.

Jen asked her ChatBot how to overcome her #lethargy.
“It’s a better therapist than you,” she told her therapist.
The therapist wasn’t sure how to respond, so she asked her own ChatBot.
They played cards & let the bots talk.
Jen felt better, so it worked wonders!
Or maybe it was the cards. #vss365

Give me the lethargy of cats on windowsills,
the indolence of mongrels, eyes closed, dozing
in the village patios, where sun kisses shadow,
the stillness of trees, bare-armed and patient
beneath the cold winter sky and roving clouds;
I'll let you hold me in that moment.

There was a cataract of excellent writing for Tuesday. Hopefully the creativity wasn't too taxing, as there is more to do. Wake yourselves up and overcome any tiiredness for the March 4 #prompt, #lethargy.

They gave the surplus
what they had to spare
loose change
silver jingling
through the air
like a paper boat
riding the ripples
on a shallow pool
drifting nowhere
#Lethargic thoughts
scattered & scarce
Just hollow shells
for an insatiable soul

This is fantastic, Sarah.
#lethargy seeps along veins, pools in bones, gathers under skin. Hands cannot bear its weight; knees bear its brunt. Shoulders bend 'til heads hang lower than dirt. The world is gravel beneath palms, the future mere dust billowing, uncatchable. The now is the standing stones we try to drag. #vss365
Comfort is the silent thief. It doesn't steal your time - it steals your hunger. Beware the #lethargy that feels like peace but tastes like surrender.

The sun didn’t rise
#Lethargy crept filling us up
From our toes to our eyes
Like a moonflower maiden i stood still
When the air had hung silent
I should have known it be an omen
The dark side of a love spell
Sent by the moon
Falling commets crashing stars
