Pushing it (5:00 AM – Hour 21)
~ D², @d2poetry
The child who teeters
to close to the edge
The assignment submitted
with one second ahead
Your mother’s 911 message
left on unread
The phone 2%
from going dead
The lover quickly
leaving your bed

LOVING these quick rhymes!!!
Thanks! This is all my brain has left LOL!
Well done! The disparate images connect so well…
Thanks for reading and you encouragement!
The rhyme here is used so effectively. It’s funny and sharp and smart, and very much it resonates and haunts. I keep thinking about that 911 call unread.
Poetry that I can smell, taste and feel makes me shout WELL DONE!
