The clocks on the wall

by Amy R.B   Sep 5, 2018


The clocks on the wall
Ticked and tocked
Each second growing
Rapidly faster
Minutes felt like hours.
The clocks on the wall
Ticked and tocked
Time was looming
Closer…
Closer.
Closer,
To the hand that struck twelve
It would only a matter of time
Before the clock reached
Its final hour…

    Hello and welcome to the site.

    I like poems that play with 'time'. Time ticks rhythmically, beating a countdown to events around us. Babies are born and 'tick' will they breathe? Yes! 'Tick' will mother be okay? Yes! 'Tick' will her milk dry up because of the famine?. . .

    Powerful as time is we should make the most of every second. After all, how much time do we have? Smile, laugh and embrace life.

    All the best.
