Premium Member TICK TALK
An old clock ticks in the background Never quite sure of what time it is Yet steadfastly sure it is right at least twice a day It will not tell you your blood pressure Nor will it count your footsteps Or find you the nearest Starbucks Its gears will eventually wear down Softly lose their edginess Its ticks become a fading whisper It will...

Oh me, oh my, How time keeps tick-tocking by! Each year shaves pounds of days off the next Unburdened, it races on, faster and faster yet. We say, "Wasn't it yesterday or maybe just last week?" Or "where'd the time go?! Damn the thief!" Summer break was the Tortoise in our youth, but then we understood the stories moral and...

Tick tock. Tick tock. Hurry, hurry. Chase that thought! Write it down. Be sure it rhymes. Sense is not a requirement. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Look at what I’ve just caught! Another word. Two more lines. Fame is not an aspirement. Tick TOCK. Tick TOCK. Oh my, wait! Rhyming is not on the list, so what? Should I have a do-over? TICK Tock. TICK Tock. Oops, no time...

Tick tock, tick tock, The cat climbed on the clock. A rat ran out rapidly in the rain. Sought shelter under a sturdy shrub. The cheeky cat checked all crops, The rat snuggled into its reservoir. A duck chased the cat, Then it dipped into the pond, Enjoyed...

Tick Tock Miracle Man 10/12/2024 We live our lives each day on the clock, one eye on the future the other the past. Our past we can’t alter but we take stock, our future we find our vision is glassed. So we learn to live each day as it arrives, leaving earlier paths we’ve tread behind. Content with burial in memories archives, for now, in...

THREE MINUTES OF WHIMSY
Three minutes to let the words take flight, I set the timer, heart racing with delight. Thoughts scatter like seeds on the breeze, Each one a whisper, aiming to please. Tick, tick, the seconds pulse in my mind, Ideas tumble and whirl, a treasure to find. A mountain of dreams, a river of fears, Words pouring like rain, washing the years. What if...

TIME
Time of which we all possess To move on forward and progress. Not to be taken for granted... Of its presence, we're enchanted. Life is short, somewhat a race... Happening at a fast pace. Time is all we have - our chance To better ourselves and advance. Poorly spent, haste turns to waste And time can never be replaced. Do not have a second thought That...

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. That’s the sound of life. Ever-ticking, counting down, A soundtrack for our fleeting days. We have this old Russian clock at home, A rusty relic, its hands creaking, Telling stories of a life lived and lost. It stops sometimes. Dead in its tracks. No tick, no tock. Just silence. A silent echo of the silence that’ll greet us all. That clock, man,...

Blue tick
Blue ticks, a symbol of her delay, Leaving him wondering, night and day, If she's interested, or just at play. His heart beats fast, his soul feels alive, With every tick, a spark thrives, But uncertainty cuts like a knife. In a sea of doubts, he finds his voice, Out of all tick colors, you chose blue, Out of all people, I chose...
