Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Benediction

Can you hear
  the little clock
Persistent tick
  relentless tock

It eats away
  at your life's blood
First a trickle
  then a flood

Now it's done
  with its last meal
In its hands
  your grace is sealed

Richard Lamoureux April 12, 2019 at 3:37 PM Congrats on being in the top 100 new poems! Gershon Wolf April 12, 2019 at 5:12 PM Thank YOU, Richard, for noticing AND for making me aware that such a category even exists. (I had no idea whatsoever). Much appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon

P.S. Awtry March 29, 2019 at 8:38 AM This is a gem! "little clock" sounds sweet and innocent... but then that second stanza... and the last comes in like DONG! Yes, this is a FAVE! Gershon Wolf March 29, 2019 at 12:57 PM Thank you so much for the FAVE on this one... I was thinking that I haven't drawn a FAVE from anyone for a long time. (Tick - tock). LOL... Greatly appreciated! Best wishes, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger March 28, 2019 at 9:46 PM I wrote a little clock poem today, but I have no idea where I put it. Like minds? A sweet little poem that made the sounds of a clock in my mind, Gershon. Gershon Wolf March 29, 2019 at 12:56 PM At least you and I are 'working on the clock.' (LOL). Thank you for the encouragement, Caren! :) gw
