Tick, tock, tick tock
says the clock
now is the time to live
‘cos this is not a mock.
There are no redo’s
and there’s plenty to do.
You can break or bury me
under your bed, say’s the clock
but I’m ever present and remain
an unstoppable timepiece
whose silent beats
you must dance to.
Clock, The Daily Post

When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Wonderful, evocative poetry by a talented writer. Left me hungry for more. Jacqueline can write! Linda Bethea

You can’t beat the clock, not really. Incidentally, I’m not sure I’d buy the green clock in the photograph. It seems to be running slow. 🙂
