Rushing Onwards! At rocket speed
Rushing Onwards! Warp Factor 10 is what I need
Rushing Onwards! Foot to the floor
Surely I can get some more
Rushing Onwards! Why are they slowing
Has no-one told them who I am
Going slower, moving slow
Down the sliproad I must go
Ever downwards I must go
Where are all the others going
Yet again cars block my road
A lorry has gone and lost its load
Alarm! Alarm! Is flashing red
Alarm! Alarm! It blasts through my head
Forcing me to cross my bed
So I can sleep again, just a few more minute’s instead
Eyes now open, what’s the time
Oh my god! It’s after nine
Panic ensuing, there is no calm
Why did I not hear that stupid alarm
Great pace and build up to this, thank you Colvin.
Exciting writing Colven. Bravo
Life can be alarming but this poem was very enjoyable
