Poppy’s Prompt Challenge
Here is the prompt:
It does not feel real
(a glow in the dark)
*
No one is really up now
(green and red light lined up)
*
This is when you go to bed
(look at it; take a peek)
*
This is when you have to sleep
(let it stay in your head)
*
Not a time for transition
(many hours before you rise)
*
Should think…or not think
(too long before I get to it)
*
Wish I had a silent mind
(maybe I need to write)
*
The challenge is stuck in my head
(the screen light hurts my eyes)

*
