Clocks

Not the coldplay song :) although the song was part of my inspiration (along with a friend of mine)

Don't make me angry

The angrier I get, the faster the clock ticks

And the sooner I explode

There are clocks in my head 

Telling me when to take action

When to speak

And when to move

Sometimes the clocks controlling the speed of time

Seem to move at the speed of sound or of light

There's the grandfather clock

Reminding me what life was like

Before people tried to change me

And modernize me

There's my inner sundial

Sometimes I want to be one with nature

There's the classroom clock

For when I just want something to end

Or the stopwatch

Counting down the time in my life

Last but not least,

There's the alarm clock

Bringing me back to reality

That is a very real poem, I enjoyed it very much. I have always thought that time is so much more significant in a persons than life than just the time of day and alignment of the sun and moon. But, you really hit the nail on the head here, expressing the different styles of clocks related to our daily lifes.

I agree with Claude Marks... well done
