P.S. Awtry Poet Rhyme

Time Is Passing

Time is passing, and we cannot stop the clock.

Time is passing. Hear it tick 'n tock.

Look for reason and for rhyme,

till all the hours chime.

Not enough

time.

And it’s tough.

T’ward the top we climb,

then over hill, past our prime.

Hope of eternity I’ll not mock.

Time is passing, and we cannot stop the clock.

Vincent Flannery October 27, 2018 at 7:23 AM A wonderfully written piece with a poignant point. You really did a great job all around on this one. Your hard work and thought are appreciated. Take care. P.S. Awtry October 27, 2018 at 3:55 PM Thank you Vincent for your kind words :)

Caren Krutsinger October 27, 2018 at 6:52 AM I am scratching my head trying to figure out if an andaree poem is also a concrete poem. I guess I will look it up. The tight well-written rhymes are a bonus. P.S. Awtry October 27, 2018 at 8:29 AM I chose time as the the subject because the ANDAREE has the hourglass shape. So yeah it's concrete, too??

Andrew Fairchild October 27, 2018 at 1:58 AM I really like the rhythm in this, like the whirring of a clock. God knows, a great many of us would like to stop the clock, or turn it back, but we cannot. I love it! P.S. Awtry October 27, 2018 at 8:37 AM Thank you, Andrew :)

Quoth Theraven October 27, 2018 at 12:43 AM You are my muse, and my siren song. -Richard P.S. Awtry October 27, 2018 at 1:42 AM It has a bit of an unavoidable sing songness to most of it... Thank you for the visit and the comment :)

Line Gauthier October 26, 2018 at 4:16 PM Lovely, PS. Well penned. P.S. Awtry October 26, 2018 at 4:40 PM thank you Line :)

Wren Rushing October 26, 2018 at 3:10 PM T' ward the top we climb, then over the hill, past our prime. clever p.s. P.S. Awtry October 26, 2018 at 3:11 PM so depressing though... :( thank you!
