Dangerous Ends

Flash Fiction, Poetry, Words 1 Minute

Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.”

William Shakespeare

Dangerous Ends
(one line story)

Hey, did you fix the roller-coaster like I asked?

Loophole at the End

To come to a head or an end
is a fear I can not overcome
If I can contrive to never arrive
I believe I can eternally survive

Senryu: Every School Assignment Ever

it is the last night
to complete my assignment
this will not end well

  2. Hi mouse,

    Funny how procrastination works, especially now when my perception of time is warped.

    I thought today was Sunday. I’m either behind or ahead of myself! Great pieces.

    Enjoy your week. 😀

    1. Hi eden
      Thank you.
      I know what you mean. Think I lost days of the week with quarantine.
      Now that I’m back at work I see it written everywhere.
      Hard to procrastinate when you keep getting slapped in the face with the deadline.
      Have a good week 😉

  4. Some fun poetry! I think that procrastinators are very adept at calculating the cost-benefit ratio and choose the minimum cost that will still provide a minimum benefit.
