2024 - day twenty-three

 The prompt is a poem about a super-hero.


The alarm goes off whilst it is still dark,

But its strident tones remind you that

Someone somewhere needs you.


Your coffee is half drunk, but with 

One eye on the clock and one hand

Grabbing stuff you leave.


You leap into your vehicle and speed

Along dark and just-waking streets

Until you reach . . . 


The hospital, and start another long

And weary day as a nurse.
