Fourteen Minutes To Go

Counting Down To Midnight In A Sonnet

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

It was a quarter to midnight and I thought I could write a sonnet to countdown to midnight. This is it.

Music of course is "Twenty-Five Minutes To Go" by Johnny Cash which sort of goes with this sonnet.

Fourteen Minutes I'll Share Something

Thirteen Minutes, What Will It Be?

Twelve Minutes, I'll Sit And Wonder

Eleven Minutes, Wait And See

Ten Minutes I'm Still No Further

Nine Minutes I Have Not A Clue

Eight Minutes This Is Like Murder

Seven Minutes What Will I Do?

Six Minutes It's Getting Closer

Five Minutes And The Time Is Nigh

Four Minutes It Is Almost Here

Three Minutes The Time's Just Flashed By

Two Minutes We Shall Have No Fear

One Minute, Now Midnight Is Here
