O' how I wish I had the time,
To write for you a splendid rhyme,
Perhaps a funny little ditty,
To show to you I'm cute and witty,
Or maybe I would write a sonnet,
If I had the time, I'd get right on it,
I'd pen an ode straight from the heart
Of love divine, 'til death we part,
Another choice? Perhaps a limerick,
If I could stop wristwatch's tick,
And tock awhile to let me think
Of words to write that would not stink,
I'd make a poem grand and fine
As beautiful as vespertine,
But alas, I have no time,
To write for you a splendid rhyme,
I suppose it's just as well,
Tick tock, tick tock, goodbye, farewell,
Time's run out, I now must leave,
And from my odes you gain reprieve.

Tick Tock

Where does play go
when is the minute
toys are us

tick tock
we play life
instead of house

tick tock
we manipulate
live people

tick tock
we cry
real tears

tick
the time of words in play
tock
lessons of a one time say
tick
watch my life now unfold
tock
to lay before me watch of gold
tick
know that poets of the rhyme
tock
speak to shadows so sublime
tick
that whether you be here or there
tock
that in the blue, you're everywhere....
