Around, Around

Just a little something I wrote.

Around, around the hands go
With a tick and tock,
And a chime with each round.

Second by second,
Minute by minute,
Hour by hour.
A counter of time
Fluent in all three.

Around, around the hands go
When they stop everyone goes
And with them a beautiful chime.

Grandfather to all
And father to none.
A relative of wood
Not of flesh.

Around, around the hands go
Counting time as they go.
Never stopping in fear
Someone may be late.

Hope you enjoy.

You have delivered once again with this one. I felt like this could make a good childrens poem(like the ones read to kids when they are really young). Wonderful job :)

A very nice poem. I like the flow of thoughts and the places you took the reader. I like the energy and wisdom shared at the ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi ZachD - there are so many gems in this
I especially loved the idea of the clock being fluent in the language of time
and the play on Grandfather - relative
The Alice in Wonderland reference at the end is fab.
All told, its a really enjoyable sideways view of an everyday object that must hold special significance for you, no?
