Poets And Alarm Clocks Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Poets And Alarm Clocks
When it failed to ring
I wondered why it didn't—
This alarm sweet that must sing,
But nowhere was there a hint.
Sooner still the clock volunteered:
You wound me too tight last night.
You see, we clocks too are weird
Like you, react if wound loose or tight.
Wait, what, you mean: ‘like you'?
You poets have no clue,
But if your readers wind you loose
You soar free like a loose kite
Till over-cooked gets your goose
That feels far too erudite.

Thank you Rev Bernard Sir, thanks dear poet Mahtab B, and Dr Swain for reading it in good spirit.
