Yo Here I Go

Here's an effort in five minutes.
You never know, I may just win it. 
A poem that says what I can think.
In a short time, an eye of a blink.

Tick tock, tick tock, that inncessant clock.
My brains on fire, my nerves are in shock.
1 minute to go and I just don't know.
Oops,

For Russel Sivveys 5 minute contest.

Reads like winning material to me..Enjoyed reading your contest entry..It is amazing what happens when one gets under pressure trying to write something...Good luck in the contest..Thanks for stopping by..Earnest Hemmingway had a disease called know as Bronze Diabetes it is actually caused from a mutation on a gene which causes the body to accummulate too much iron which causes the internal organs to die or go bad and one thing they get is diabetes because of pancreas failure..Sara

rereading this again and noticing you said eye of a blink instead of blink of an eye. How funny!

GOOD. The ending is perfect for this kind of poem. You are amazing at short poems on a whim. You do it all time with your comments. This is a cinch for you!!
