Sandra Haight Poet Tanka

Tanka Times Two - Time and Clocks

Time racing quickly
       
                         Clocks ticking madly

The measures are absolute
   
                         Conducting meters of life
    
Keep pace with the race
      
                         With synchronized hands

Like maestros gaining control
  
                         You must act now or never
  
Join the endless concerto
      
                         To achieve your finish line
