A Taunting Tanka

"Tick tock" the clock mocks,
"another day you've wasted!
Face my displeasure."
And it whirls its hands faster.
"I will show you who's master!"


Tess and her Mag 189 called forth this flight of fancy, with an image by crilleb50 which I adapted to suit a nightmare scenario. :)

    I don't consider any day wasted. I used to, and I railed against circumstance, but a day spent resting, then accomplishing something, is a good thing.
    Time does fly, though, doesn't it, Jinksy?

    I like your tanka take on a nightmare scenario :) I remember those dreams where one is always late ! What you did with the picture works really well with it.

    I love the altered image ... and the tanka is impressive (not an easy form.)

    My thoughts exactly, and my poem bears a similar message...but (I fear) with considerably less vitality.

    How true this is. And I annoy myself so much as as a procrastinator I waste so many days...
