Envelope Sonnet - Crunch Time

This is a variation of the Italian Sonnet done by the French. It creates two sestets and links them with a rhyming couplet. The length is eight or ten syllables and the rhyme scheme is as followed: a.b.c.c.b.a.d.d.e.f.g.g.f.e.

"Crunch Time"

Time that rushes on so quickly
Constantly slipping away
Tick away upon the second hand
And falling down on grains of sand
You make me so regret the day
That life began this long countdown
To the final scene so profound
When all this will end in a fall
And at last the nagging will halt
Of your constant reminder
That this life is just a binder
To hold us till judged on our fault
And we realize we can’t forestall
