Response to Duffs writing challenge #22
Clock and Ugly Sea Creature.

Image via Wikipedia

Never imagined there’d come a time

I thought I’d have run out of rhyme

As the noises from the ancient clock

Keeps beating in my head…tick tock

An ugly monstrous prehistoric

Unknown sea creature comes to mind

Setting the rusty gears in my brain to grind

Write it short and without big word

I know this rhyme is completely absurd.

    Absolutely absurd, have you lost your mind?

    A very interesting poem for the challenge.

  • Rod Ferrandino on Apr 19, 2010

    I like the cadence and the lilt,
    the brevity should birth no guilt.

    I think triond has caused you to lose a few brain cells Belle dear….haha That was a very nice poem for the challenge Belle, and i like how you got both the words for the challenge in your poem. Absurd and prehisotric clock…haha Well done friend.

  • pattiann on Apr 20, 2010

    I think it is a good poem. Even if you think it is absurd, at least you wrote the poem while many, many people have never written a line of poetry.

  • teeray on May 2, 2010
