Response to Mary’s d’Verse poetics (choose a quote, write a poem) photo: Brainy Quotes
lacking sleep my mind felt bleary
blinking smoke my eyes grew teary
my date’s drinking made me leery
“Ed,” I said in tone too cheery,
“give your keys to Raven, dearie.”
He shook his head and said, “Lenore,
pleeezsh let me open your car door.
That bird’s slow driving is a bore.”
He stepped the pedal to the floor;
we crashed…I’m gone, forevermore.
