This work has reached the exceptional level

I find this to be excellent for the contest and you have my vote... using end rhymes even though the contest doesn't ask for that is in my opinion perfect.
I always do that... just feels far more complete.
I also love the clock image ..great choice and the colors...
Would you be kind enough to let me know who you are at the end of the contest?

It's excruciating. I'm so sorry you are going through this (or have gone through it.) And, worse, no words make it better. There is no salve for it. If we lived close, I would give you the best hug I had to give. Please know you are in my thoughts, Mystery Contestant. xoxox

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt Contest. Good alliteration.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

The death vigil is a draining experience and you have expressed it well. I would add that there is a need to show love, respect and honor to those who have given meaning to our own lives. I hope this is the feeling at my bedside when the time comes. Peace to you,
John

    Thank you very much, appreciated. You are right, but I couldn't fit that into the short format.

I truly admire this role which must be so distressing. In my experience, death isn't pretty and can be deeply traumatic for the carer/observer. Your verse hits at the heart of this with poignancy and impact! And you have some lovely alliteration in that first line which is almost like the ticking of a clock. Thank you for sharing and good luck! Debbie

Goodness. A rather scary and heartfelt piece. An excellent 5-7-5, packing so much into the mere seventeen syllables. I just can't imagine being in this position but my heart goes out to you and all carers. x

This 5-7-5, Carer's Role, has the proper formatting and sees the responsible position as a monitoring spot which requires all one's efforts in the last scenes of another.
