Tricia’s Monday Poetry Stretch this week was to write a poem about time--"in any form, in any of its incarnations." Here are two original “time” poems for you today. I think I need to work on A Poem for New Year’s Day. I’m not sure about the last line.
A Poem for New Year’s Day
What is time?
The passing of days
as we spin through space
into darkness and then light
through morning, noon, and night…
as we travel 'round the sun
at a breakneck pace
in and out of months
and ever-changing seasons
till we come full circle.
We’ll begin the trip again
at the starting point
right here…
and follow a well-worn path
as we complete another year.

Clicking
Lock-step…as
One turns—so turn all the other gears…
Clicking, ticking, tocking together
Keeping in time through the years.

These are fabulous, Elaine. I especially like the acrostic. That lock-stepping, tick-tocking totally puts me in mind of school clocks...
Thanks, Laura. I wrote that acrostic years ago. It's been hanging around in one of my writing journals.
Wonderful way to capture the passing of time.
