Poetry Challenge - Day 15

For today's prompt, write a deadline poem. You can interpret what a deadline poem is however you wish. Maybe it's a poem that laments the idea of deadlines. Maybe it's a poem about someone intentionally missing them or who never has problems with them (I wish I were that person). Regardless of how you take it, remember that you have until tomorrow before another prompt will be posted. Consider that your poetic deadline.



I'm so far behind.
on this - throwing words into an empty well.
No sound at the end.
Shooting thoughts into a space
that is not even a space.

What need is this?

Lonesome catalogue
all but invisible.
Even so, I'm late.
