Running-Out-Of-Time-Rhyme

A poem a day?
There's just no way
to keep up this commitment.
What was I thinking?
Was I drinking?
But deadlines are insistent,
even this one.
If I missed one,
could I hold my head up high?
Would you notice
if my poet's
plan failed here to satisfy?
If my grand intention
met with intervention
so blog's call proved insufficient
to lure from other, so persistent,
task, I ask:
would those reading
email, pleading,
for return to my computer?
I don't think so-
could be wrong, though-
we may find out in the future.
