A Bombing of Recollection

Furiously clacking away At a tiny keyboard, One parent computer-sentry, The other a full time zone away. When I manage to sneak a second, Looking at all the contests I would never have a chance To enter, I wonder: What is a blitz? And thus spawned a small ditty, Albeit a quick one, On life, death, and the keeping of memories. Almost a month later did I receive my first and only accolade. 3-7-2017 https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/keep_my_memories_869924
