Avenging Time Angel

Whispers, frozen time, and a clock— a Free Verse Poem

Tick-tock, tick-tock;
the wall clock ticks,
tick-tock, tick-tock.
The clock blade longarm clock sword swept upwards;
a flashing firebolt, suspended in time, alive with hate.

The alarm clock shrills loudly
my breath wispy curly fog in the cold morning air.
Tick-tock, tick-tock;
tick-tock, time stands still.

A sickening smell of fear cloying the air.
getting up in icy cold is not my cuppa tea.
Tick-tock, tick-tock the avenging time angel mocks.
