Description Sun
           and
   Moon.

          smiles
    and
           Pain.

                            


                                 bouncing     like          chickpeas
                                                                           on  the   se e e
                                                                                               sa
                                                                                                  a
                                                                                                   a
                                                                                                    a
                                                                                                      a
                                                                                                         w
                                                                                                         w
                                                                                                          w       of
                                                                                                                                   Clocks.

                                                                              they tick so slow
                                                                          as they spank our souls
                                                                                      fritter our hopes
                                                                          and          Gobble    us     whole.

it's floating
in white and black and all the colors of
illuminatedly illustrated childrens' tales
with a meaning far far older

good job

Yeah kev2137, i felt that too. Your structure is always amazing and interesting. The rhyming is interesting here as well. A short, sweet, gut-lurcher.^_^

My kitchen is making strange noises.

For some reason I heard 'a' instead of 'the' seesaw of Clocks. Thoughts?

flappability In reply to zebrazebrazebra [2006-01-12 01:08:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah.

Well the reason I picked "the" was because "the seesaw of clocks" represents "Time." And there isn't more than one "Time..."
Ahh. well I guess it all depends on how you interpret it.

But I think I'm going to stick with "the." Thanks for the suggestion though.

Ah, it's making more sense to me now I'm actually awake. 'The' is fine - I just read it differently on my first skim and wanted to hear your thoughts on that. And I got 'em. So YAY!

Ahaha.. I do that too. Yeah. sometimes I just have uncontrollable urges to jump on to these virtual gray floors and just take a peek at the poetry and the rufty tufty art.

And then I end up staying on for two hours instead of 5 minutes.



Wahhhh...

What does A-?1?! mean?

This is the sort of thing I could read over and over again.

this is quite amusing.



Six months ago, you took one second out of your life to apply pressure to a single left mouse button.

And that single click, six months later, erupted into this....

I know where you got the idea for the title OH.

If I'm not right, zebrazebra had a poem called "a gress lion" that ended each stanza in "Oh!". slightly before you wrote this poem

and thats where you got the idea, isn't it?

Also the whole poem sounds like something connor oberst would say. The whole emphasis on clocks and how they control us or "gobble us whole."

This piece was very inspired
