Future Running Counterclockwise


An Acrostanka...or Tankrostic! 



                                        Each tick of the clock
                                        Accelerates neglection
                                        Reducing the time
                                        The future would last few hours:
                                        Human's punctuality

    sounds pretty ticking good, poetry flow is clock like would, if the words come galvanising...

    nice combo of forms - have you seen the movie "in time" w/justin timberlake? this reminds me of that, even though you're referring to the earth's time running out and not people's. i like the clock image :)

    You are always an orginal!! Love the simplicity of this....not to mention the two-fold form. Nikko will too! And by the way, what a great friend you are to show up and check out so many of my poems....I spent the evening smiling! Thank you, Ruben...you are awesome and kind!

    It seems you use those centering codes while posting a poem for each line Ruben?Very nice poem.Enjoyed.

  1. Date: 5/2/2012 9:18:00 PM

    oh my gosh, this one too Ruben, I am not in too much trouble.I do not know how to DO fancy things. I only missed my little blue hummingbird. I checked my centered poems (well at least one of them, and it was ok!!) Bold? I do not even know how to do that!

  1. Date: 5/2/2012 8:45:00 PM

    Unsupported Code??????????????? What?

  1. Date: 5/2/2012 9:30:00 AM

    Ruben, the last frog poem I posted was not for the contest. I was looking at my cell phone and I thought, Oh my gosh, I can write a haiku about the screen of my cell phone; however, I was not aware of a commercial. Is there actually a commerical about frogs on cell phone screens? Do you think I made the right choice to enter my fable (the longer frog story?) instead of the cell phone series?

    Wow! What an acrostic or "tankrostic"! The image you used reminds me of the clock that went backward in the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Brad Pitt was born old and kept getting younger throughout the film. Why can't we do the same? I took down my teacup because I have so much trouble typing with this neuropathy and I couldn't keep up with the mail. Love you, dear friend. Carolyn

    HI Ruben, love your pic and your words are so true, in my city the public transporation is the highest in the country, seems odd that they want us to use it, yet make it almost more expensive than paying for parking ....

    I really really love this write and the artistic unveiling dear poet ! Just wonderful ! Have a wonderful weekend Ruben ! Much love, james

  1. Date: 4/28/2012 9:16:00 PM

    Awwww...how original and full of truth! Tankrostic is a new term for me! You blew this contest outtta the water, Ruben. Thoroughly enjoyed! :) Gwendolen

    enjoyed this one, Ruben. You are so clever. hugs, catie :)
