THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT
vigilant, I’ll wait in the darkness
darkness endangering my trust
trust that’s too easily cut
cutting hope from my life
life’s hazards are real
real, unto death,
death to grave
graveyard
pleas

Several prompts were woven into this one poem:
- Three Word Wednesday: cut, endanger, hazard
- 100 Days of Summer (one of the themes for week of July 22-28) Day 21: graveyard shift
- Poetic Asides: to write a “plea” poem
- Poetic Asides: Nonet Form Challenge
