Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: "The Clock" reflects a walk into the world of imagism. My focus here was on the clock's symbolic nature as typified by it physical and descriptive aspects. Tick-Tock, It's a Clock -- LOL!!   (Gary Bateman - August 16, 2018) (Imagism)

Thematic Categories: image, imagination, symbolism, and time.
