a warm summer day
lazing in a hammock
stretched between two
trees – drowsy drone of bees
and scent of honeysuckle and clover
can lull even the busiest of minds
into fragrant repose.
A distant lawnmower says
Get Busy!
I gnore. I am lulled.

Ha.. usually those lawnmovers would move the lull out of me… I think you are a dedicated luller.

I learned the art of focusing long ago when a chef and also while learning to use a katana. I can focus on being lulled extremely well. 🙂
Feb 08, 2016 @ 16:04:51
Yes, sometimes it is more important to enjoy the scent of honeysuckle and clover!
Feb 08, 2016 @ 16:16:54
I love this. Some very clever line breaks in there. 🙂

How peaceful! I love the “drowsy drone of bees.” I could hear the sound and smell the honeysuckle. Thanks for showing us that sometimes the repose of being lulled can be a good and peaceful thing. Peace, Linda

It is so powerful when we can give ourselves permission to be lulled. Without those days of active repose, our bodies get ill and let us know it’s time. The whole idea of Sabbath…at least part of it, anyway.
Feb 08, 2016 @ 16:50:55
ah, you’ve lulled us into a peaceful feeling
Feb 08, 2016 @ 17:07:50
That sounds wonderful and I could ignore that lawnmower, too.
Feb 08, 2016 @ 17:55:25
Gosh I will be lulled too into fragrant repose ~ Love the 44 words ~
Feb 08, 2016 @ 17:58:59
Thank you! Even I am tired of winter and bad weather – I needed a break from winter, bad news, negativity – something light and restful. This is the happy place I frequently visit. You are welcome to come along any time!

oooh, I am there! Love the “drowsy drone of bees.” One thing I have told my children and husband for many many years: never never buy me a hammock! I know myself, and I would laze away oh so many days! Or should say “daze!”
I just so relaxed with this one….

Perfect set of lines very aptly supported by the image, kanzen!

And what a lovely lulling it is!
Feb 08, 2016 @ 18:50:32
A sparkling joyous Q44, & being retired, I can achieve that lull very quickly; seem to need it now more than ever. You must be good at meditation too. I can never really still the inner voice(s).
Feb 08, 2016 @ 18:54:45
Hard to do it at times! But having so much to do and people to take care of, it is hard to stand down. When I get a chance now, I have learned to embrace the lull. In fact to go on lull hunts!

You set the scene perfectly with this gentle verse, then WHAM – the *%”*& lawnmower starts!
Feb 08, 2016 @ 20:29:18
Ahhhh, but I ignore it… 🙂
Feb 08, 2016 @ 21:47:10
This made me take a nice, big breath of laziness. Yes, embrace the lull! You never know when the call to activity will rear its head.
Feb 08, 2016 @ 21:49:12
Sounds like a tee shirt to me – embrace the lull! Take the lull by the horns…
Feb 08, 2016 @ 22:21:45
Sounds so relaxing to be in that hammock! I’ve never been in one, and would probably fall out, but it sounds so nice! 🙂 Great poem!
Feb 08, 2016 @ 22:25:57
I fell out and over s couple of times before I got the knack. It was worth it! Wonderful naps.
Feb 08, 2016 @ 22:37:39
haha, I can imagine! Glad you figured it out, now you are able to enjoy relaxing! 🙂
Feb 08, 2016 @ 22:52:09
It is wonderful, almost like weightless. And outside… Oh my it is restful… To read, think, dream, nap…
Feb 09, 2016 @ 04:19:44
a perfect paradise except for the lawnmower 🙂
Feb 09, 2016 @ 05:42:08
I am really looking forward to those lulling day, Hayes. 🙂
Feb 09, 2016 @ 07:41:59
What an enjoyable read! I’m about ready to be lulled!
Feb 09, 2016 @ 08:12:31
Oh how I wish it were just such a day.
Feb 09, 2016 @ 10:35:12
How we long for those days when we can be gloriously lulled into a more relaxed way …nice take
Feb 09, 2016 @ 10:42:24
Yes we do, especially on a day like today!
Feb 09, 2016 @ 13:42:34
YES. Staying lulled takes a great deal of ignoring some days. Love this.
Feb 09, 2016 @ 13:46:19
I have become a great luller in my old age!
Feb 09, 2016 @ 22:46:03
Aww…this is the life. The last line made me smile. 🙂
