Time Is Ripe

Rating: 5.0


The Quickening
Is upon us
There are 'Sleepers'
Among us

Who will set forth
To the arena
For the fight
Between Light and Darkness

Indeed a tragic event and a horrible crime. Now I know what 'sleepers' are. Fine poem.

i didn't know Uber driving could be such an interesting job! i know! BAD JOKE! ! ! BUT i AM one of darkness after all. ; ( i would say Who 'should' be 'fighting' Darkness, but such a struggle seems to have failed the first time, so i'd hold out little hope that it would work the second time. let's get on to a different subject. got any poems about Dolly Parton's underwear? bri :)
