It's Twenty To Twelve

It's twenty to twelve and midnight beckons, I want to stay up til midnight and then up at 5:45 tomorrow morning and a couple of seemingly impossible tasks to finish at work tomorrow.

So I thought I would write a double butterfly cinquain.

The only problem being is that the Vocal editor does not let you keep the format. although it is more about the syllables in the lines similar to a haiku.

I also want to at least hit the hundred-word pre-haiku challenge minimum word requirement, which I have done with this brief preamble.

This is how it should look

⏱ ⏲ ⏰ 🕰 ⌛️ ⏳ ⏱ ⏲ ⏰ 🕰 ⌛️ ⏳

Counting

Down The Minutes

Until Midnight Arrives

The Church Bell Strikes Twelve Ringing Peals

And Then

There Is Silence, I Lie Awake

In The Quiet Darkness

In My Warm Bed

To Sleep

⏱ ⏲ ⏰ 🕰 ⌛️ ⏳

Now Is

The Time Of Dreams

Ride Into The Unknown

Discover A Fabled Empire

The Past

I See Statues, Columns, Temples

Destroyed By Father Time

And Erosion

Awake
