Hi, Craig,

It does seem that the 'intershock' of the world is about to happen at any time. I imagine that the powers that be would rather end it all than untangle the mess they've made of things.

I like your idea - it would be great to just be sitting inside - as the final shockwave takes us away,

Good one,'

Lol. I like your light-hearted attitude. Even our smartest scientists can't predict when any of these galaxy destroying event could happen - and it is such a remarkably delicate balance we live in.

And your solution as to how to deal with the whole entire thing is just grand -- beer and buddies can solve (or avoid) just about anything! :) :) Really like your write here, however, it really should be played to something like an upbeat Twilight Zone theme or something ... maybe like the Day the Earth Stood Still....lol!;)

Thanx, as always, for sharing! :) Yvette :)

One of my favourite movies (the Michael Rennie version, not Keanu). Thanks for the delightful comments, Yvette. Craig

An excellent poem with great rhyming, Craig. I like the combo of using the old movie as a jump-off point in your theme. These lines are especially good:
"In my imagination, I can see that day arrive;
the one where all our genius cannot help keep us alive."
Ain't that the truth?

My suspicion is that day will be one of our own making, rather than one we have no control over. Many thanks, Marilyn.

I enjoyed your poem, Craig. Great job with meter and rhyme as is your forte. I like the picture you chose, too--very appropriate. It does seem man has put Earth on a collision course of undetermined length. While I know from your notes this was about a cosmic event/movie, it does give rise to the fact that the end is sooner than later for us on Earth if things don't drastically change. Goodm job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Yes, I also suspect our end will most likely be due to our own efforts, rather than some cosmic event over which we have no control. Still, that would put us soundly in our place. Many thanks for the great comments, Jan.

I really enjoyed reading your poem. It ended on a happy note. You spoke realistically throughout and made the reader contemplate his own mortality. But your lighthearted ending, to me says, don't take life to seriously. We're here one moment and gone the next. Cheers.

You continue to impress me with your brilliant vocabulary (not just the words from your book, but also just the words you naturally use), and your awesome metre. This one is great.
