Congratulations on your win Maurice. I like this one (more)

That's from my perspective ..Of course : )

Definitely a lot of essence in these two lines.They explain someone'release from past pains..And the clock tick tocks another hour and with it freedom.

Can you explain the form :).....well captured

Dear Maurice, There is magic to be found in the darkness. A tiny candle is more than enough light. Perhaps some clocks are like lamps. I don't know the contest rules, but this is a very cool couplet! Wishing you success, my friend. Love, Carolyn

The Essence, created by Emily Romano is a short, structured form of two-lines, six syllables each with an end rhyme and internal rhyme. This is written for nette onclaud's contest that is based on writing a two line poem with the theme of time.

Great poem Maurice - its a tough challenge and you nailed it:-) Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx

All right....a fine way of telling a thing.

Terse, enigmatic words in this work! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

hmmmm, is there a picture involved with this one? I had no idea Nette had a new contest up. You really have my curiosity with this one. Gotta go see what the contest is!!!
