The Clock Is Ringing
#WritcoPoemChallenge
#mystery

Tick tock goes the clock,
Tick tock, it's time to take stock,
Tick tock, we wait for them to come,
Tick tock, the growling came,
Tick tock, the bushes shaking,
Tick tock, the nails scraping,
Tick tock, it's eyes glowing,
Tick tock, it's teeth are showing,
Tick tock, the're far away still,
Tick tock, time's are runnin,
Tick tock, the snarling came,
Tick tock, blood is dripping,
Tick tock, doors are shutting,
Tick tock, comes the knocking,
Tick tock, the house 're noisy,
Tick tock, the baby's cryin,
Tick tock, cryin's coming--
Tick tock, up the house and--
Tick tock, the clock is ticking,
Tick, tock...thum.
