POEM STARTER
Include the motif of clocks in a poem.
Clocks can be representative of time, life and death, and opportunities.
Time is Ticking Down
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
You hear the time tick down
Its sand a silken gown
Sand’s hands are wrapped around
Your ever-thinking crown
Tick.
The sound infests your mind
Tick.
A never-ending sign
Tick.
That one day you will die
Tick.
And your life will be mine
Tick.
It’s growing faster still
Tick.
Tick.
As time does drink its fill
Tick.
Tick.
And sand will overspill
Tick.
Tick.
As fish will rot their gills
Tick.
The arrows racing through
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick
And your heart beats in tune
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick
You’re spilling out blue rue
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick
It will be over soon.
