Line Gauthier Poet Monorhyme

The Doomsday Clock

Eve of year 2000 TicToc 
TicToc TicToc
The doomsday clock
TicToc TicToc
Heard all the squawk
TicToc TicToc
The world’s gone amuck
TicToc TicToc
Expecting a deadlock
TicToc TicToc
Life won’t be a catwalk
TicToc TicToc
Two minutes to midnight TicToc 
TicToc TicToc
Hold your breath TicToc
TicToc TicToc
One minute to midnight TicToc 
TicToc TicToc
Hold your breath TicToc
TicToc TicToc
Eyes unlock
TicToc TicToc
Taking stock
TicToc TicToc
The earth still just a rock
TicToc TicToc
T’was all a crock

Kevin Shaw February 4, 2018 at 2:40 PM Really enjoyed your poem with I guess a touch of Irony. I found myself reading the poem very fast as if the clock was speeding up, loved it, regards, Kevin Line Gauthier February 4, 2018 at 5:01 PM Thank you for your visit and comment, Kevin. LOL. That year end certainly was memorable.

Paul Callus February 4, 2018 at 2:25 PM An enjoyable take on this contest theme, Line. Eighteen years have gone by, and that clock is still TicTocing!! Looks like all the fuss that was then made was just media nonsense:) Regards // paul Line Gauthier February 4, 2018 at 2:32 PM All those techies sure made a killing though - kaa$$ching!!
