Lin Lane Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

    Joseph's Alliterisen Contest ~ 9/2/26

Redundant Rhythm of a Ticking Clock

Redundant rhythm of tick tock
Acrid annoyance on this dismal day
Time travels at a prompt pace
Its hastening hands will swiftly spin
Fast forward... clicking clock
Tacit tongue like Poe's pendulum
With gripping grasp, the Swinging stopped

Tom Cunningham September 2, 2026 at 1:01 PM I thought this is quite dark then saw the reference to Poes pendulum yikes. Tom🌹 Lin Lane September 2, 2026 at 2:07 PM You know me and my attachment to Poe. It began with dark overtones that made me think of the Tell Tale Heart and the Pit and the Pendulum... I had to mention him. Thanks a lot, Tom.🌹
