The Messenger of Time

When my heart started ticking in rhyme, And the three arms ran around and chime, I ran faster and fast, Then got slower at last, And now not good enough for a dime. Honorable Mention in STRAND SELECT K, any form,any theme Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

I didn't took much time to compose this.. Sometimes it is like that.. flow of words will come in ease.. But some other time, like a traffic block, not even a word come forward.. It is my first Limerick.. And not even brave to try another.. The rhythm is difficult to tackle.. so I quit.. Tanka is safe.. lol..

Good limerick, Jenish. It describes what's happened to my metabolism! Janice
