Spread the love

Over the Oceans I do sway.

Into bodies I promote decay.

In the clocks they track me.

Under thermodynamic guises, I cool tea.

Outside of nothing apparent.

Out of typical logic transparent.  

On a bad day I am slow.

Off duties, forget me and go.

By and by they curse my name.

For I am a force they’ll never tame.

      Thank you 🙂 It was a funny way of looking at it and I had fun with using propositions at the start of each line.

    ‘In the clocks they track me’ – my favourite line. Beautiful poem and I love the handwritten version of it.

      Thank you Britta, I like handwriting my poetry so I got a ReMarkable tablet. I highly recommend the product for people who like writing.
