Amie, this is a lot of fun, mostly because this is the way I ramble on when doped up on cold meds and also because it has that kind of sing-song recall feel to it -I confess that any reference to a song is probably lost on me since I predominantly listen to dead people or those obscure enough that one might think they're dead -but I love the clock references throughout because they put me in mind of a faerie tale sort of journey...and now I'm rambling because it's ungodly early and I've not had coffee yet -but hopefully you understand that I love the piece.

This struck a chord with me for yesterday I felt like the clocks were all broken as sad news reached me from several messages. The world was less a few lovely people and my heart greets the sun today, I thought of how we must truly live each day and then I read this poem...you write it as if a gift were given, the possiblities endless and it must be lived to its fullest. I love that is was a stream of consciousness or a mere dance to be danced...thanks. smh

A most enjoyable read - the inner rhymes, the lyrical nature of it; really liked how the "tick tocks" stop the tongue at end of that line; the sheep,sleep line makes me chuckle; there is much wisdom in the first two lines. Thank you.

This might well be the best thing I've ever read of yours. "Like madmen on a sugar rush or junkies left unsated" was absolutely brilliant. Adding this to my favorites.

I love this piece, the energy of it, to echo Therese, I felt a fairytale floating amongst the words in this piece, not unlike Alice in Wonderland, where we can make our own time, our own world, our own possiblities...loved: "Be the heroes and heroines of our disasters/ 'Til we find our halos, smothered in chocolate kisses of dreams/ begotten from counting the sheep that skip over lost sleep"...just lovely...one thing that struck me I thought I might mention, first stanza, the "ever" and "endless" felt a bit redundant, but since the next stanza ended in "hopeless," was wondering if you considered omitting the word "ever"?? just a thought...don't get me wrong tho, this is a fav of mine already, and kudos to making it on the top rated list, well deserved poet!! Hugs, jewels xoxox

I'm obsessed with time. This is a great read. Will you please come over and smash my clocks? I agree with Kristina- good food for thought; wonderful read- thanks!
