[hometext] => This was an exercise in writing about a subject common to everyone's life, ' time'. These are my thoughts about time's control over mine.
[bodytext] => "Clock! Clock!
Hanging on the wall, Meting out the minutes As from time they surely fall,.... What is this mystic power That makes us rush and run?... By what right you tick so quickly When you know we're having fun?... Then... let your hands move slowly When there's waiting to be done?" (My small clock keeps a bedside vigil; Another stately guards my hall; Though inanimate things of workmanship, They rule us, one and all.) "Come now, Familiar Face,... Tell me what you know;... Why do I so depend on you No matter where I go?... Tick-tock! Tick-tock!... You silly speechless clock! The works behind your face and hands Tick on,... but they won't talk." "Clock,Clock, Clock!... Be you fancy, small, or tall,, I think you represent a power Important to us all." Intangible and awesome!... Its feared and revered,... Telling you,... compelling you,... "Tick on, tick on." Like a soul that flows Through wind and stars....... 'Till my days on earth ... Are gone,...........are gone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
