👉 Write an uncensored Limerick poem based on the word: 'doldrums'


Okay, here’s your unsettling, uncensored limerick, leaning heavily into the horrific and dwelling upon the wretched doldrums: Here lies a soul within the deep, 
 Lost utterly in dismal sleep, The doldrums' dreary keep—
 A muffled, sickly weep— Forever bound to horrors bleak to reap.

What is the definition of doldrums? 🙋

👉 The term 'doldrums', derived from the old-timey English proverb "A dull old man is no friend of mine," is a mischievous and amusing way to describe the feeling of waiting for something, like waiting for a message or a dream you've been hoping for.


Let's use it in an edgy example sentence: "Can't believe I'm still sitting here staring at that boring website! It feels like 'doldrums,' trying to get through to the other end." In this sentence, "doldrums" is used metaphorically as a reminder of feeling stuck or lost on something. The person being referred to in the phrase is suggesting that they've been waiting too long for progress or an important change in their life. The edgy tone comes from how it plays upon the phrase's connotations and creates a vivid image of the feeling of being stuck in a doldrums state, which can be unsettling or even alarming.
