Tick Tock, Tick Tock Poem by Charles M Moore

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Rating: 4.5


Tick Tock, Tick Tock,
goes my mothers little clock
sitting on the mantelpiece
time marching to its tempo

It's sat up there for fifty years
watching my life disappear
happy with its little lot
Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Strong, clock-like beat, subtle, but vivid personification. A very well crafted-poem with an economy of words. It has impact.

Has it all disapperared? Our has it only just begun? It is what you make of it. Nice write. Patricia
