Random Poem Day -- Writing Prompt #40

As always, a quiet blog is a good news for my writing, and this latest chunk of silence brings with it new EG pages. Broke the 49,000 word mark! Come laziness or gaming (hell and high water being such a cliche) I am breaking the 50,000 word mark this weekend. I promise.

For today I'm trying to make it through the last work day of the week and struggling. This, of course, brings on a writing prompt! Today's prompt is easy: write a random poem. Before any poem-fear strikes you, know this. I do not write poems. Ever. But! Writing prompts are for stretching your writing muscles, as well as for writing without critique or edits, so this is the perfect time to try out poetry.

Besides, once you read mine you'll automatically feel good about yours. ;-)

Here's mine:

It’s one-thirty I’m losing my mind
Negative gears are going full grind
Wish I could leave get away and unwind
Negative gears are going full grind

Heard all of nothing and it all sounds the same
Work sleep work sleep dying in this game
Legs so bent joints are all getting maimed
Work sleep work sleep dying in this game

Parallel hours make the light long and black
Sleep deep curl wish for not going back
Dying mind fails at picking up the slack
Sleep deep curl wish for not going back

It’s one-thirty I’m losing my mind
Negative gears are going full grind
