< three red clocks >
ticking their tocks
chanting their vows
with tiny mouths...
singing
in the songs of seconds
voicing
in the minute's chance
speaking
of the hour's progression
daring
in the day's good dance
these red clocks
their double-A's
(both Duracell and bunny)
conflicted smiles
upon their face
watching
find us funny
spinning in the summer sun
creeping through the winter
with brethren they wait patiently
for time and thoughts
to splinter

I really like the tone as well as the rhyme in the poem. Its cyclical and emotional as well from behind and very funny just like mocking away the passed time. A very different attempt Lemmy!!!

I'll break their little hands if they look at us that way again. Who's to judge what goes on in the room at 11:00pm? -- certainly not clocks.

I like the strained touch that the last verse brings to the whimsical beginning. I like the light rhyme, though I'm not crazy about using dance twice in the second verse, especially since you're rhyming it with itself. Then again, I'm an admitted servant to structure, haha. I can find no weak spots in the tone or the meaning behind it, though.

I love the flow, the pensive thoughts to invoke. I love how much depth you emote within your passionate words. Beautiful write.
