Best Ticks Poems

Wondrous reigns the gift of your trait
To build future on strengths innate;
Knowing ticks of time rule your day
Don't just dawdle on aimless way
Strive now to mold shape of your fate.

Looking back on the winters of my life,
I realize now, each brought a new light.

Though at the time my eyes did not see,
the wisdom, God was planting in me.

Certain seasons, bring more rain,
and surely, some bring more pain.

As the clock ticks on, taking us through,

Whilst the clock ticks, appear memories of her past
For three faces she owns, which would be the one that lasts

Would it be the one from old, or the one from her recent past
For three faces she owns, which would be the one that lasts

Many words...

Time is never on our side, they say it is when we are young
No matter what, time cannot be stopped, shot or hung…
It ticks away in tiny pieces, we never think it will catch us
Until the day it’s nearly gone, and then we start to...

In darkness, 

I couldn't see,

the monster nearing me.

 I heard,

the clock ticking, 

the old wood floors,

creaking.


I felt my breath catching, 

heard, 

his lips smacking.


I felt,

his cold hands touching, 

my innocence leaving,

and fear smothering me. 


Shame will defeat me,

everytime I hear, 

old clocks ticking.


Time rewinds,

when I...

 Ticks of Laughter  
 By Brett Somers
Written 3-12-16
What is this peacefulness you seek?
This love that has you smiling cheek to cheek
A second hand ticks 
And you laugh at it
Ashes fall
And you’re having a ball
Do you not know the mood the brood the attitude
Of...

Menaced by a triumphant chanting of lament
Entrancing the soul of Hades’ kin
Missed eruptions of the sensory nerves
Onomatopoeic of hollow gongs 
Resonating, maimed through the indescribable facets of
Your  forgotten youth.

The clock ticks and cock crows. 
What a trick that triggers 
How time flies and days flee...? 
In travail you crossed the White Sea beyond, 
leaving us with the route that has its roots 
At the foot of the cross, and its crux in Christ....

Time Ticks On

As a child I dreamed
and played and frolicked
I knew nothing of time
and time knew nothing of me
and as I grew my dreams became real
little by little, 
one by one,
and time ticked on
As a young adult I worked 
and played and loved
I was introduced...

Politics 
Polytricks!!
Sucking us like ticks
Good things befall the 'leader'
And we are left in the need of a healer
No.. political leader...
Tampering with humanity—
Animality!
Trying to lead people to emancipation 
Is like leading a snake to masturbation
Brainwashed zombies
Conltrolled like machines
I wonder what is marshing in—
In times of need
We...

As the clock ticks
The stars tuck me in
Each second passes into oblivion 
The night welcomes me
Eyes stay open
Body grows weary
The final flickers of activity
Closing up shop inside

As the clock ticks
Shadows dance on the wall
The blankets clutch me
I feel every part of me
My soul lays down
Body...

Polly Wally waddles all day 
She's running for office in LA 
She wastes time doodling 
Enjoys a daily noodling 
But she never earns her pay 

Polly Wally was once quite a looker 
Before politics she worked as a hooker 
Now she dresses with power 
Doesn't...
