Challenge: Time


Weeks, months, moving persistently by.
A task, a mission. A Mark on my arm.
I can’t decline. This should be an honor.

Days, weeks. The end draws closer.
Searching, finding. Trial and error.
There has to be a way to make this work.

Hours, days, a last-minute discovery.
Pride, triumph, I had thought this impossible.
Death Eaters in a Marked tower.

Minutes. Hours. It seems to last forever.
An exchange; my confidence wavers.
I raise my wand, but I can’t say the words.

Seconds minutes passing flying,
Running hoping, I need a way out!
I’ve failed. I have to escape.

Mmm. Nicely turned.

&hearts Oh, Draco! My heart aches for him! This was great - I've been in the mood for exactly this sort of writing lately, too, a little exhausted from so much prose. I miss poetry!

And man, that piece of art is lovely as an icon. &hearts

Thanks! *Snuggles Draco*
I like playing with the sounds and pacing in poetry.
And I like that icon. I realized after I finished that piece that Draco's Mark should be on the wrong arm, though.

Beautifully done!
