POETRY IN MOTION
THE END OF THE WORLD
The end of the world came totally unexpectedly
And very quickly
(Only took just over 2000 years).
Mrs Green was doing her usual thing
With potatoes, peas and a saucepan
While her husband was putting the clocks back.
There was no warning;
No flashes,
No big bang,
No last-minute telephone call.
Just an immense blanket of nothingness.
The last flower dropped its head.
Shrivvled up
And died.
And that was it.
I only know
Because I was that soldier.
