Clockwerk

I wasn't planning on posting another piece today.  The plan was to post one piece, go over to One Shot Wednesday, and get a whole bunch of reading in tonight.  I still may go back this evening, but it's getting kind of late & still have a few other things to take care of first, so if not, then I guess another day to catch up where I left off.

Anyhow I visited Patt Hatt's site, which is a regular stop for me, and he had a brilliant piece.  The first part was an illustration of 12 clocks with words marked E, N, S, & W.  The second part was a very good poem, but the clocks inspired me, and that's the backstory how this poem came to be.

Transistor-

         -stuck between what once was 

and the corral in between

                                      Spite 

As you approach the knife

Verbal ability is reduced to but a vowel

Revisiting-

         - attractions passing glances

Just inches removed

                              from nearby, wonder speeds-

from fate.

On the road to attraction once again

Time has almost met

Hand upon hand

                        Altering the day

Anyhow, thanks to Pat for the inspiration.  Go check out his sites It's Rhyme Time and Face It Facts.  You'll enjoy them both.
