round face shining
all through the night
waking with
the morning light

ticks not from
habituation
pendulum dancing
in unison

quartz hand movement
around and around
chiming each hour with
a beautiful sound

seconds abound
and minutes fly by
regulating life
while keeping time

Time for...

lunch..time for a break..time to catch the bus..time, time, time. How would we live in todays world without, time...and our quartz watches. Well done.

Time is

the most precious gift of all. Clearly, that was realized this holiday, else you would not have written such a beautiful piece in which the reader can HEAR the clock. I do hope that you shared time that was needed, where it was needed.

Faithful.

A lovely rendering richly describing the appearance and actions of a clock. Clean vivid images. Well Crafted.

Simple and clean,

An easy read;

A subjective call here,

I would change one line to, "round and round;"

Seems to flow off the tongue better.
