I wrote this quick one for 2minutesgo, JD Mader's writing weekend on his blog. Just head over and write for two minutes, whatever you like, be it poem, story or mega rant, or an ode to puppies.
Ring the
alarm
Flag that
car for a lift,
and you might
not get very far.
Walk the
streets late at night,
be careful
where you are.
Ride a bike,
so then drive slow,
or you
might not make it home.
Fly a
plane, check the seat,
be sure to
sit right by the exit.
Stay in a
hotel, look at the number,
ensure it
doesn’t say thirteen.
Buy a
lock, buy an alarm, buy a dog,
buy a gun,
buy a knife, learn to run,
learn to
fight, check for streetlights,
check behind
you, check in front.
Don’t get
the nightbus,
do get the
nightbus.
Don’t walk,
walk.
Don’t, don’t,
don’t…
Just stay home.
