It's Still Life

The Writing Game

Poets plan out their lives
like three line haiku, driven
to write away minutes
and hours.

They sit hunched
under mote slivers of light,
as the clock ticks on and chimes.
They’re rhyming every
inspired syllable sent.

And with the pen’s last breath,
they drop, dry and spent.
It’s a game, a set and a match.
