Writer's Digest November PAD Challenge For today’s prompt, write an “I shouldn’t be here” poem. You can decide where you shouldn’t be: maybe it’s a place, maybe it’s a time, or maybe (just maybe) it’s a state of mind. Shake yourself loose in a poem.
Where I Need to Be
In the jungle
Dark and deep...
No
I shouldn't be here
Sailing the deep blue sea....
No
I shouldn't be here
Flying above mountain tops....
No
I shouldn't be here
I have no time to waste
My time is finite
I have no idea
When the end is near
Yes
I will be where I need to be
Stretch the moment to eternity

Studio creating
Discipline
Becomes habit
However
Time spent
"Piddling" gets you
Nowhere
Lessen chance
Of wasting time
Plan your day ahead
Then work like a well
Oiled clock
With regard to time
It can be your friend
Or it can be your enemy
It can slip away
The day gone
Just a gap in the process
If you are not mindful
It can be your undoing
Each day is a cycle
Eliminate suffering
Organize
Gather what you need
Before you begin
Time spent
In the studio
Is your choice
Finish your day
On the downhill

Good work habits
