POEM STARTER

Include the motif of clocks in a poem.

Clocks can be representative of time, life and death, and opportunities.

The Clock Ticks On

I swear I’m trying

Trying to stay strong

But the clock ticks on

And I’ve still got nothing

Nothing to show


And I’m dying

Dying to know

But the clock ticks on

And I still know nothing

Nothing at all


So tell me

Is it just me

Or are you in the same boat

Always moving

But staying in the same place?


Cause I swear I’m trying

Trying to stay strong

But the clock ticks on

It ticks on

And I’ve still got nothing

Nothing, nothing

To show


Note: a song rather than a poem, so like, sing it in your head? The tune I came up with reminds me of Lauren Spencer Smith, if you know her. If you don’t, I definitely recommend checking her music out.
