April Poem-A-Day Challenge
Today's prompt:
Write a poem based off your response to a song. You get to pick the song, but I ask that you please indicate which song sparked the poem"
I chose
"The Big Boom" by Jonathan Coulton.
3 AM
"It was 3 AM when I heard the sound"
Jonathan Coulton-"The Big Boom"
By the time we heard the sound
it was already too late.
We knew that more were bound
to suffer Michigan's fate.
In the mindless din of screams
and stray car alarm peal
we watched as the stuff of dreams
brought a nightmarish ordeal.
The rising of the sun
just made the sight more appalling
as we heard that one by one
all of the cities were falling.
Now forced to move by night,
just one thing is understood.
We've all given up the fight,
hope is now gone for good.
