broken clock

nothing much .

 

 

Broken on the wall of this store

“Sale broken clock “

-Laughs- who would buy a broken clock?

Nothing works, I can’t tell time so what use am I?

I wish someone would buy me, fix me, and take care of my faults

Why  is  this child staring at me, I wonder if he realizes I don’t work

“What good is a clock that doesn't tell time” he asks 

“No good", his father replies.

I wish I can start moving again, and then someone might buy me

But that’s just wish full thinking. I spend my days on this wall

Not knowing neither night nor day in a endless impasse

but  i still hope that one day time moves for me again.

Hmm very good at describing a clock. You have an excellent creativity side, and it is very creative to imagine what goes on in a broken clocks mind. I am sure someone would like to repair that broken clock, anyway excellent poem! :)

Hmm exceptionally well done Peter. It's unfortunate really, I'm possibly the only Trinidadian on this site. Good to encounter a good write, and a fellow Indo-Caribbean-er.

Nice concept, Peter. Nice literary device (Personification). I also made a poem related to this but it is about TIME.

Keep writing.

Interesting piece Peter. It certainly helps the reader get in touch with the sentiment of the piece even if it does have a few areas that need editing.
