We're already one week deep into this challenge. I hope everyone's having a great time. Just in case you're new to this challenge, here are the rules/guidelines.
For today's prompt, write a "what won't wait" poem. Only you know what won't wait. Maybe it's falling in love or work--or death (one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems is about this topic). Something else that won't wait is today's prompt.
Here is my attempt:
"This Week"
This week rushes in
like the last one--
there's little I can do.
