cool write Greg!.............................................................................Jim
thank you Jim
GREG!!......this is such a compelling read....for me..... it is a metaphor for the passing of time and effects it has on the human mind, body, and soul.....a VERY well conceived and VERY well delivered piece of poetic prose that has a depth most unexpected....also, I love the way you maintained the continuity of the "OCK" sound running throughout!!......that rhyme adds much to the overall tone!!.......ALL STARS & PINNED!!......well penned dear poet brother!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo : )
PS. I hope I didn't misinterpret this my friend!!
Oh Tony thank you I think it could just be a little bit longer but I couldn’t think of any more The photo of this old clock is centuries old this clock is in an old church in Wales I really thank you and I’m very honored that you would love this poem i’m very pleased to thank you very much this means a lot to me when you like my poemsÂ
A very nice write Greg....Time is a mind boggling thing and you have written about it so well...enjoyed x
Thank you MarionÂ
Greg you have certainly nailed it here, time and its cause and effect on those around it. A real motif of time encapsulated in your most fine and well written and delivered poem.
In life time waits for no-one and I believe we should make every new day and every second count, to strive and live and lead a good life not forgetting all those around us who need help in society today.
For your poem of this old clock and it's ticking theme can make us realise that the time to act and engage is not later, not tomorrow or next week but now.
Thanks Greg and a superb and most enthralling write to make a reader think.
thank you ShaunÂ
This clock centuries old
some church or cathedral
in Wales I love this Clock
Greg, that is good to know about a Welsh connection and certainly looks a clock of historic character and there are many churches in Wales but only nine cathedrals. Would now love to discover it's home.
Thank you Greg for sharing that info and your poem also.
Â
I think it’s Wells Cathedral in Wales
But not sure
Greg I'll look into that and can even ask the good people in antiquities research at the museum where I'm fortunate to work.
They'll be back in on Monday and hopefully can let you know by Tuesday evening, if they're not too busy to locate it once and for all.
I'll mention your good self and your poem too and not forgetting Wells Cathedral also for starting point.
See and read you tomorrow evening Greg and thanks for that info and all the best and respect to you my friend.
Thank you ShaunÂ
I would be honored if you do that
Greg, Monday I'll ask them and I'll even bribe them with a cuppa and a kind word.
If that fails I'll get the thumbscrews and tickling stick out and recite my poetry !!
Never fails!
Great write Gregg.
I love how you maintain the word clock till the end
Thank you Leah
Wow Greg you have actually captured time and it reads sublime! What a truly clever write here my friend. For time escapes us so quickly. Suddenly we reach the end and didn't notice it passing us by. But you have grabbed the seconds, minutes, days, months and years brilliantly đź‘Ź a wonderful poem xÂ
Thank you GwendolineÂ
at first I didn’t think so at first
that it would be a good poem
But now I do
It is a wonderful poem my friend, you are a skillful writer xÂ
Oh thank you so much that means a lot to me wow you just made my day thank you so much
Greg nice to know you found it's in Abergavenny and St Mary's Church on Monk Street.
Whenever visiting I'll pop in and have a looksee at some history.
All in good time.Â
