On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour

The clock at tick-tock - appears a flower On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Green eyes scan the darkest blue; and brown eyes, On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Fuzzy figures all about the dusk-ing On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Brown spots on leaves; and Autumn wrinkled skin, On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Fateful showers begin with lightning-will. On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour The poet, wary, very still, shivers On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour.

I wrote a different ghazal and gave it this title, which humorously caused me to start over with this as the refrain. I erased the other. Thank you!
