NaPoWriMo - 2017 - 26. April 26 : A Clock on the Wall

Prompt : Clocks
Write a poem that talks about clocks or other “compulsive time pieces.”

A Clock on the Wall

Three pointing hands stopped
at ten, nine, 'tween three n four
A clock on the wall.

 

This poem below has nothing to do with the prompt. I wrote this for the guy who dreamed about me and made my day by telling everything. Hope you guys will also enjoy reading it. And Ben this is my first sonnet, and I expect a detailed review/comment from you.

 

A Dream of Monday

The act of mad men we did as we laugh
And play like children on gray summer day
On the verge of world, at seashore, we chaff
I throw him in the water, as waves sway
We sit calm, shoulder to shoulder, and look
At breath taking view of approaching dawn
We bitch 'bout our exes by hook and crook
Stay there a while, without moving a pawn
Silence was never been a problem 'fore
But now my heart has got a special knack
'Let it all go', was all it swore and roar
Finally with smile, we stood and head back...

He was awake from the dream of Monday
And he wishes for us to meet some day.

A big thanks to Val for helping me by providing me the prompts. Thank you all for spending your precious time for reading, liking and reviewing my poetry. Undoubtedly all mistakes are mine and mine only.
~Emi.

I suppose the Sonnet is better than 'my first,' way back when. The images are all very nice: the beach, the ocean, the gray skies. But more importantly, the interaction of the two guys is well drawn out. 

 

You've been careful with the length of lines, but some of them have little grammatical foibles. The rhyme of the couplet is slightly undesirable, only because it's considered best form to not repeat the same word, or section of a word (Monday and day, in this case). I've posted a little thing on rhymes in my blog. I suppose I'll dig up the link and place it with the others in the Poetry Prompt thread. 

 

Thanks for posting these, and for carefully studying the Sonnet Poetry Prompt challenge, which I can tell you did - and did well :)

I'll definitely take a look at the blog about rhyming and all. I am glad you felt like it was better than your first Sonnet. That was very honoured comment for me. Thanks for giving the expected detailed review and for your suggestions to improve my knowledge and skills. Glad I got you as my teacher. Thanks for everything Ben...
