Dali and Clay

Time for trouble, a twisting time, a turning time
Time that can fall down
Water is time
A twisting flowing motion with no rhyme nor reason
The time that we make, changes time
We don’t count it, nor know it
But time still is
An outburst of emotion,
The tears falling off a silken dress
stained with the salt of emotion
the legs intertwined with time, gripping it as one would a life preserver, floating in the open ocean
A fearful grasp, one that conveys the fear, that displays the levity of an emotion as of yet unknown
We see the water dissolve itself, self destructive as with time, breaking itself, yet repairing itself, on a perpetual journey to the unknown

  3. I like how you take time into a different context then we know it. as something more alive than we give it.

  4. "Water is time

    I really liked this because it draws a parallel between two things you wouldn't think to associate normally.

  5. "Time for trouble" I love how you start off the poem, I don't know why but when I read that I felt that it was time for liftoff!

  6. I like the use of the word time in the first few lines. It is a really pleasant use of repetition.

  7. There is sadness and light here. The repetition of the word "time" gives the poem a tender feel. Mostly, it's just very philosophical. Excellent work.
