Day 18: “A Death Row Inmate Sings A Ruba’i” OR “The Last Interaction”

Here was the Day 18 prompt: "For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem with an interaction of some sort. The interaction does NOT have to be between people, though it can. For instance, you could write about the interaction between a bee and a flower; or an owl and a field mouse. Or just write about a traffic cop getting into an argument with a speeder. Just as long as there is some sort of interaction going on." Read more at: April PAD Challenge: Day 18

“A Death Row Inmate Sings A Ruba’i”
Or
“The Last Interaction”

A night that held my hand and promised a day
To you, to field flowers and the sunshine of May
Is witness to my vice or folly
Uncommitted. So take this last petition and put it away.
