For today’s prompt, write a lone poem. Perhaps the poem is about a solitary wanderer or person who just prefers to go it alone. Or a lone winner, lone wolf, or some other solo individual. Or alternatively, I’ll accept poems that are about loans or that are about being alone.
Self Portrait
Just one light in the midnight
shining on a cluttered desk
some music — a cello
or piano barely audible
above the rain falling
No frantic television
no random children
no nagging wife
not even a bored dog
to disturb the work
He drinks alone
a silent prayer
to his distant muse
for inspiration
before the dawn
Bartholomew Barker, Poet 
Really nice write. I read the stanzas backward to, and it paints a portrait in either direction.

Thanks! I didn’t intend for the backwards read to work. That’s cool.
