Today's prompt in the
April Poem-A-Day challenge was to
"write a poem of worry". Since the prompt came kind of late in the day and I have to edit they show tomorrow and I have a bunch of things to do this coming week
(being sick for a month tends to get you behind on stuff), there was only one thing on my mind ...
Deadline
Looming, monstrous straight ahead
and bearing down on me,
a stark reminder of wasted time
with no sense of empathy,
no tolerance for excuses,
no concern for who's to blame.
It only knows it must be met
to take that for which it came.
