94. Last Hope [100 poems challenge]

94.          Last Hope

To be asleep by midnight’s chime
Just recently became my vow
But I will not succeed this time
Unless I finish writing NOW.

1 August 2013

Comments: That was finished at 12:58am*. Houston, we have a problem. I fear there is NO hope.

* And given that it surely didn’t take 58 minutes to write this poem, there was never any hope to begin with! I did, however, have the punch-line before midnight, but I had to deal with my online students, and so couldn’t start writing the whole thing until 12:45am.

Oh, and earlier today (3 August), I wrote the 1ooth and last poem for the collection. Yay!

Themes to come: 95. Advertisement; 96. In the Storm; 97. Safety First; 98. Puzzle; 99. Solitude
