Poem: Clock is not moving
I was sitting at my desk and it stopped
Stopped, the clock, it suddenly stopped
No ticks, no movement, this clock
This clock, I saw it, it stopped
I peered out my window below
The people they all stood still
It appeared they didn't know
The thought of that gave me chills
I walked down stairs to eat
The clock on the wall was still
My family all there in silence
The thought of that gave me chills
Outside it was all quiet, the people they didn't move
The cars were going nowhere, what could I possibly do?
I thought in silence for hours, I thought until I was blue
The birds were caught mid-flight, not even a single coo
The clock on the wall, it stopped
The clock it stopped, it's true
The blue skies turned to red
What can I possibly do?
