The Hands of Time

The Weekend Challenge on Weekly Prompts is the word: Property. You can visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here … My poem below, is about the elusive “Properties” of Time


The Hands of Time


Time and time again

I do not have enough time

I cannot catch time

I cannot see time

And sometimes

I have even lost time


No matter the time

I have no time

To write a rhyme

Clean sheets wait for new lines

Empty pages are in mime

I cannot remember the time

When my heart’s rhythm

Last ticked in time

With the spare time

Inside my mind

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  4. Great poem from the prompt, Ivor! We can all relate to your thoughts and feelings about the hands of time! And superb song choice! ….
    “Home, home again
    I like to be here when I can
    And when I come home cold and tired
    It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire…” 🙂
    (((HUGS))) 🙂 ⏰🕘🕰 🙂
