Deborah Hawkins, penned Debra Renée Byrd, began writing after a blank book project in elementary school and never stopped, fashioning stories based on her favorite TV shows and movies before creating more original works. She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl...well, you know the rest." -Tracey, Firefly, "The Message"

Poem-A-Day #8 Rejection

Rejection

Dear Sleep,

Thank you for your interest.
However,
I feel that you did not display
All of the qualities
For which I am looking at this time.
I may look into your resume
For future use
If the matter of needing to
Close my eyes becomes dire.
At this time,
I feel there are other applicants
Whose resources I can
Put to better use.
Again, I thank you,
And I apologize.

Sincerely,
A tired procrastinator
