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. ANDAREE Poem Premier Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet October 26, 2018 6th place

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.

I chose time as the the subject because the ANDAREE has the hourglass shape. So yeah it's concrete, too??

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!
