The Ticking Clock (poem)

[Snow Adore]

This isn't a furry based poem but it is the poem i am most proud of that I wrote in 2007. I did(and still do) plan to publish it in an anthology of my poetry but if that doesn't work out...then I would rather my fellow furs read it *holds fingers crossed in hopes that shy suckered people into reading it*
P.s it doesn't rhyme and isn't supposed to...incase people wonder.

THE TICKING CLOCK

TEN
Do you hear the ticking clock that leads consciousness astray?
It is the basilisk of hands that takes hold of your thoughts.
NINE
The seconds flow while the minutes pass and all the hours go by.
It takes us down the road of life and winds it all away.
EIGHT
Regrets are left within our thoughts as the counter times our soul.
The love we had, the bonds we lost and the things we put aside.
Seven
The burning question but with no answers to prevail.
There is no meaning to the question for it doesn’t matter now.
SIX
The silent echo that seems to say the time is near.
But there is not time for all these things for the ticking clock is here...

Tick, were born, tock, we grow, tick, we learn, tock, we know,
Tick, we break, tock, we bend, tick, we grow, tock, we end.

FIVE
Days will end, months will pass while all the years do end.
But even the breaking seasons must obey the flowing of the sand.
FOUR
A little late, a little early but always right on time.
It is the decider, the watcher and the binder that controls us all.
THREE
Born in sin, born without...all who are born dance within.
Its beating hands and it's drumming that booms silence...we listen and we dance.
TWO
Do you think of it as an object or an instrument of life?
If we thought of it as nothing would it still have the power to control the elements?
ONE
But there is no time for questions because we simply obey its presence.
But when our time has come it can be heard and it will be clear that out ticking clock is here.

Tick, were born, tock, we grow, tick, we learn, tock, we know,
Tick, We break, tock, we bend, tick, we grow, tock...we end.

There's something catchy about it. It feels nice. Hehe. You can go read it on tv instead of those other boring poems. Although generally I like poems to rhyme but hey.

[Snow Adore]

I used to like poems that rhymed. But as I continued to write new poetry I got more focused on the thought and sentiments behind it and the rhyming kinda just...flew out the window.
Im happy you like it though. Thankies

Well I know some people say poetries all personal and that sorta thing but there's just something hollow about poetry with no format. Sometimes it is really good but there's no specialness to it. Anyone can just write a few lines and call it a poem.

[Snow Adore]

That is exactly why I don't worry about rhyming so much...I wouldn't want the meaning behind what I write to be lost because I couldn't find out a meaningfull way to rhyme lock or clock

But on the same turn i don't like telling people what the meaning behind my poems...I usually find it better to let them discover their own meaning without a set of ideas being forced on them...that way it becomes more than what I have written.
