Short Ticktock Poems

Ticktock, the clock calculates time;
the seconds morph into minutes.
Then, the minutes converge as hours;
that accumulate into days,
till the weeks pile up into months.
Tethered to thoughts of forever;
time transcends the concept of years.

~Caffeine Blues~
(Nonet)


I look at the clock and it is late
Time to wake up and start new day
Ticktock ticktock hear the clock
Try to keep eyes open
But can not do it
Need that coffee
Very bad to
Get up
Now

Classically gray day
pre Spring trees
cast in silouhette.
Sitting in shadow
side by side
behind the wall,
one of them
puts right
hand above left
knee of the other,
slides palm slowly up.
Heartbeats. Ticktock breath.
Feels flesh soften,
moisten, smooth.
One looks ahead.
The other eyes over,
downward. A parting of thighs.
Future waits.
Mysteries near solving....

You stand strong and majestically tall
Rich mahogany are colors of your frame
Your face is decorated with numbers in brass
Your heart is sometimes heavy with weights
You smell like aged wood with a touch of lemon
Your voice is heard as musical chimes every hour
Your old antique presence is a delightful addition  
Your ticktock rhythms are welcomed sounds

TickTock on a Rock

There was an elephant stuck on a rock
He had been rockin’ all around the clock 
He made a trunk call
The best news of all
He’s found fame doing video TikTok.

* * *

Nellie had finally found fame
On TikTok making her name
Then on Twitter
Became a big hitter
It’s the internet that's to blame.

TIME
           
             CLOCK runs TICKING ticktock
             Hours passing, none can block.

              Every MOMENT is precious.
             On path of life be serious.
            
             PRESENT quite prompt to sink in PAST.
             Act on tact for works to adjust.
             
            TIME goes INFINITE ETERNAL.
            You are just infinitesimal.
