I just happened to stumble across your outstanding contest winner that touched me in a special way. Time, what nearly all of us take for granted most. One day you have plenty, and in a heartbeat you have none. Congratulations, and here is that elusive chartreuse plus sign you so deserve!

Great entry for contest. Good luck. I think you maximized the few syllables you had to work with, as well as the limited form. Great artwork to support your words. And you last line was particularly clever!!

Thank you for the review and the many stars. Also, thanks for the well wishes and compliments. I was very lucky to find the artwork that showed more than one clock. Please feel free to leave suggestions for improvement.

This is a thought provoking and interesting poem! I have never seen a Tetractys poem before - you have done it well, from what I can tell. Time is a construct that has so many incongruities, and when I start thinking about it, my mind just skitters. You have certainly captured one of the mysteries of time in this poem. Great job!

Enjoyed this evocative little poem. Loved the imagery of the hands pushing through time. That felt new and surprising to me. Joyous. Thanks for sharing.

So glad a little joy came from this poem. This is a time when we all need a tad more joy in our lives. As you thank me for sharing, I thank you for reviewing.

Your contest entry is in good form, Mystery
Author. Your syllable count is correct per
line, the image is supportive, and your words
well chosen and true. I like the personification
of the clock. Your author note is true, too.
Best wishes, Jan

Dear Mystery Writer,
OooOOooo... I am making my way through the contest entries and I must tell you that you are not making things easy for the other contestants. *smile* So far, your entry is far and away the best I have seen. (shhhh...)
Somebody is going to have to come up with something pretty stinking stellar to beat this. Wow. So cool. Love! Thanks and good luck!

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
the tick-tocks of the past are definitely a treasure. They gave us accurate time for sure, and the bong is the one that woke us up. Like your short poem, it brings many great moments of yesterday.

Thank you for your review and feedback. This was my first attempt at this type of poem, so I felt a little unsure of myself; however, your opinion is comforting.
