Look at the clock tick
Hear the footsteps of Time come
Closer with each click


Love the concept. . . but how did you resist tock for the last line???
and maybe a sound in the middle line
not meaning to diss what you wrote ('cuz I love the concept) - so much so, that I couldn't resist playing with it

Behold the clock tick
hear the tap of Time's footsteps
closer with each tock

:-) Thanks for the inspirational kick :-)

This was very well written. Great personification with "Hear the footsteps of Time come". Sounds kind of creepy. LOL. I loved the rhyming of tick with click. For a short poem, this was great. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order. Wonderful.

I love the picture of Father Time. The words of the poem accurately depict the message of the poem. Time is ticking or clicking away. Good job!

I like how we're made aware of this clock ticking by the emphasis on sound.
Excellent metaphor for each tick: "footsteps of Time."
Good personification of Time's "footsteps coming closer."

Time is something that nobody can stop. No matter what we do, time goes on and waits for no one. Thanks for sharing these well written words.
