December of That Year - Act 1

I travelled to New York in December of that year
Flying over the Atlantic as the world began to fear
Panic was in abundance as religions declared their all
About the Mayans and 2012 for their writings depict our fall

I flew into JFK, just a Highlander holidaying loon
Booking into my hotel, unknowing of tomorrows strewn
I settled into the night, turning on the news
The channels were reporting the possible, leaving me confused

I awaken very early, it's now December the 21st
The sky appears to be yellow, like the sun has finally burst
I'm seventy stories up, and the hotels in violent shake
I hear loud drones above so it cannot be a quake

Dark shadows pass my window, although it's early morn
I start to think back to the news last night, is this earths forewarn

Too funny James - we both posted our apocolyptic 2012 poems within minutes of each other. Must be a sign that our eerily similar prognostications are true. Been nice knowing you...oh, well, we still have over two years left to go. Go see a Broadway play before then. Joe

Better plan that trip before 12/21/12, James. I'm not sure if the prophecies you describe with incredible imagery will manifest, but I wish you could see NY before then. Terrific entry for the 2012 contest! Wishing you luck. Love, Carolyn
