Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Out of Time Rhyme

I did not heed the warning that

I needed to evacuate.

I thought my home and habitat

Was safe, all I need do was wait.

The volcano eruptions were

Never my worry in the past.

I stayed put then, and now was sure

The lava flowing would not last.

But now around my house I see

The lava flowing ev'rywhere.

In a short time lava will be

A burden that I cannot bear.

Back then I could have beat the flow,

But now I've got no place to go.
