Twenty seconds to Midnight
By Lawrence R. Berger
It's not enough time!
Quick, someone hand me the knife!
The ball is falling!
Corks are popping!
Champagne is flowing!
Blood is drip-ping from my pen!
Lord God help me there is just not enough time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how the hell can you write anything decent in just twenty seconds?
(c) 1999 first published in Instant poetry(just add words!)

Interesting way to end the month! Looking forward to more blogs in the next year:)!
I can sure relate to this one! I am re-editing a cookbook I published back in the 80s and I am feeling the pressure of time to get it finished as it has been two years and I ran into writer's block, so now I am trying to get it done before that ball drops! Good imagery again and great poem! Peace and many blessings, Annie
