Clock

clicking, cheerful

chiming, clanging, changing

classroom, cabinet, college chime

counting, charging, cycling

cute, charming

chronometer.

Writer's notes: This poem is submitted to the Tautogam Challenge. CHIMING is written in a diamante poem format.

What is a Diamante poem? Is a style of poetry consisting of seven lines. The lines form a diamond shape. The first and seventh lines have one word. While in the Synonym Diamante poem, the first line word and seventh line word are the same or similar, in the Antonym Diamante poem the words first line word and the seventh line word are opposites.

Did you notice that lines one four, and seven are all nouns? In lines, two and six two adjectives are used with three verbs are used in lines three and five.

A special shout-out to Denise Lindquist for sharing and introducing me to the poetry style.

Somewhere, there is a picture that was taken on our first trip to Paris. The picture shows a clock sculpture of various sized and shapes of clocks. The Unsplash picture selected reminds me of that picture. Thinking about the clock sculpture, was my inspiration for CHIMING.

Thank you for reading. Leave a heart, a comment, or both. You are appreciated so very very much.
