The end is nigh

Just another apocalyptical piece, I think I feel an obsession coming on.

We glanced into the horizons

Seeing a dichotomised beauty

The starry night eased my intrigue

But the glowing orange didn’t.

The two colours met in the middle

Almost as if in agreement

Aware of each other’s existence

Pairing for the sorting of Man.

Encrusted in the unearthly glow

Was a peculiar zeitgeist, Doom.

Earthlings still left their houses

And walked towards it solemnly

For we had acknowledged our fate

A needed punishment for our neglect

But now our regret loomed over head

As a blazing, cleansing inferno.

One and all, stared into the night

Almost as if for the first time

But the opportunities had been there a while

Before this very final curtain call

Author's Note

I noticed 100% of my poetry all had a rhyme scheme, I wanted to add a little variety and test myself by taking out a rhyme scheme. Let me know how I did.

Well, I think this piece would not have fared as well with a rhyme scheme. It would have made it too... cute somehow. This has been a fear since Openheimer brought his toy into the world, of course if we didn't have this weapon of mass destruction, we would just have another. As you say, the opportunity has been there for a while, and what have we done?

within the body of this poignant piece obvious rhyming may well have removed some of its deep impressions on the psyche~ your composition is skilled~and implosive in its delivery~

The worlds not supposed to end the whole Apocalypse thing is a hoax cause it's supposed to be just a normal name and yeah...But this is nice I like it a lot, but it's really interesting you did a nice job on this!!

i read the author's only after reading the poem... so surely i didn't notic ethe rhyme scheme... No prom st all... i think if u have gone for rhyme scheme this one would not been so perfect... personally speaking... rhyme scheme sometimes tends to restrict me... so i do not compel myself abt that... 4getting all that this poem is really good... nice use of words... i liked some expressions... good job...
