I love the rhythm of this. We depend on clocks for everything in our lives but the also drive us crazy. My favorite:

The lunar toc of the clock
drips time, drop by drop
Ere the cuckoo calls

A terrific statement on the monotony of time. Your poem brings to mind the madness of a chinese water torture "drop by drop." Wonderful flow and cadence. Thank the stars for the cuckoo. Your skill contiunues to inspire me Tony.

We must be on similar wavelengths as this is on the same topic of my recent Pendulum post LOL. This must be a message that needs to be shared since it inspired both of us. This is beautifully penned and a peaceful read. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing this with me.

I loved your poem about the clock, and time. You had several great lines in this poem that I loved. The picture you used was awesome to coincide with the poem, too.

Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

Mankinds clever depiction of time has indeed led to governing all that we do.

It sets pace to the universe and structures our lives until the ultimate moment.

A fabulous depiction of what time represents Tony.

I particularly enjoyed
to cut the thread
that binds us
to the metronomic madness
of the clock.

Another first class write.

Kind regards

trimple

I didn't know a poem about time and a clock could be so engaging. An old topic, of course, but you delivered it in a unique manner. Enjoyed.

This is really a unique timepiece--quite the grandfather clock! I would love to see this for myself;
Seems we are constantly tied to the ticking of these mechanical marvels;
Thank you for enlightening me to one of San Francisco's wondrous creations.
Amazing!

Metronomic madness...I,love this...it is isn't it. When we are young that metronome is a faint echo in the distance. The older I get the louder and faster and more insist ant it gets.....well done
I must go ...I am on the clock
God bless
