Prompt#116 Last Chance
http://oneshotpoetry.blogspot.com/
LAST CHANCE FOR THE DEAD ARTIST
The letter was filled with disappointment.
Discouragement was encouraged,
Someone said, it is your last chance.
It's happened before,
But knowing it was the last chance,
The dead artist sat down for a good cry.
MORE ABOUT THE LAST CHANCE FOR THE DEAD ARTIST
The snow falls lightly,
The last chance,
Someone said as much,
Wait a minute...
Why is this chance,
That slipped out of sight,
Disappeared in the night,
Out of my grasp,
The one and only,
Last chance
Wait a minute...
No, not yet,
Not done,
Work not complete,
Still alive,
On fire,
Hard at work,
Cracking on all cylinders.
Wait a minute...
I won't be discarded,
I won't be folded up,
Put away in the dark,
Don't close the drawer,
Don't shut the door,
I will not accept,
This chance,
As the last chance!
