Public Submitted Poem For The Day

Triple Threat Evaluation


Those dogs at midnight who cometh
Rip out memories of you and them
Of yours and theirs
Movies last forever but not for you.

So you gather arms where you may.
A knife from the kitchen, a lamp from the living room.
You fend them off as you best you can until the morning--
When it's back to another day-light and those pancakes
With way too much syrup.
