Some Time

I feel the clock as it begins to unwind Tick tock, tick tock another second behind Springs and sprockets intricately interconnected Tick talk, tick t a l k My slow down unexpected Pendulum swinging from side to side Ticktock,ticktock Not swinging nearly as wide The Cuckoo is coming It will stick out it’s head Tick tock, tick talk I can’t remember what I said Ding dong, ding dong The chimes are ringing Tick tock, tock tock What will time be bringing? The hands keep moving around the round face Tick tock, tick tock Connecting me to this place! I search for the key can this clock be rewound? Tick tick, talk stick It’s nowhere to be found......

Indeed, we think it stops sometimes, but still moves, we slow it by inactivity and speed it up when busy. We live in illusion, time just keeps a rollin' on.... fine verse, Richard. Regards, Viv

My grandma had a cuckoo clock. It was one of my fondest memories growing up. Nice job!

Dear friend Richard, thanks for feeding my sight with such beauty after a long vacation from Poetrysoup. Your use of audio devices is unparalleled. I see onomatopoeia crying aloud in the lines. Much love, Adeniji

Take your time Richard, when you have time. :) Even though we can't make moments slow down, sometimes we have to slow down. Sometimes- we don't have a choice. Such is life. I love the humor around these words of truth. ~ Brandy

Only thing that i know is, it never remains stagnant. It has a job to do with or without us. Memories are the "Only" way time stands still. No one ages in thoughts... Made me think. Always good to read your work!

Oh, you Master Poet. You clever wit. To play of the fanciful tick-tock, but realize coo-coo or not, you can neither stop or escape its rush of reality.. and should I add, finality! Brilliant piece, Richard!

The image is clear and the theme is constant throughout the piece. Your poem falls within the category of fanciful and imaginative; armed with an energy of its own that propels it into our sphere of reality. Emile.
