I like the flow of the poem and it has a good sense of place, however you might want to try reading it out loud to yourself to see where it halts. There is also the issue of characters, they are not quite specific although this in no way impedes your poem. The repetition of it's time to move is also a very good plot mover and works in your poem.
suggestions
Time to Move
we've gotta run fast, the tide will come
no rescue planned
never knew it was coming, no one did
shocked us all but we must try to live
quit staring, no time for a trance if we survive there will be time to dance
pick up your things
its time to move.
its time to move
focus your energy to your shoes we have to run or we will lose
Cant believe what is going on
im shocked just like you but no time now to worry bout the blue
don't just stand we must move
don't get caught in the amazement of the blue
focusing your energy to your shoes
for now is not the time to stand and stare
why did this happen everyone ask
but time we don't have any to spare
save the questions till the danger is gone
no questions lets just move
focus your energy to your shoes
for now my love is the time to move

Technically, this is for questions and answers and not to find the next Robert Browning. Nice poem, wrong forum.

It's cute, but it could use some editing. For example, it's "must've" not "must of." And I assume you will have it in a better format, because this one makes it rather confusing.
But other than that, original and creative. Good job :-)

I like the flow, though needs to be laid out differently, as someone stated above.

I really like it. I don't know what you were trying to get across when you wrote it, but when I was reading it I just thought about the hurricane. And how people were in awe but they had to get out fast. Deep, I know.

It's a bit repetitive, and I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here. What's your point?

Brilliant...I like it. You should start a book of poems and publish it.

don't get me wrong I really liked it but it would make a killer song if you can get someone to write music for it (with a country feal maybe?)
