Clockwise
move those hands
The tick tick wall clock
Holds eyes and ears captive, ring–
Summer break is here!

A Hiatus Turned Reflection
No, I wasn't dead, nor fighting off some great mystical beast tyrannizing a group of villagers. To those who look forward to what I have to say, or to put it better, write, I am genuinely sorry for my disappearance from the Vocal platform and community.

Love it !! I can hear the clock !!
Fabulous!!!💖💖💕
Oh, reminisce to the days of the countdown .... 😄
A great example of how punctuation plays a huge role in telling a story. Well done and congrats on Top Story… again!!! 😁
Love it! Congratulations on your Top Story - well deserved!
This part: ears captive, ring– Is particularly true and evocative!
Congratulations on your top story!!! The worst thing for me is summer, but I do think for everyone else they love it lol. The bell ringing is a depressing sound for me but I know it’s fun for others. I like summer sometimes when I went to my aunts pool to swim, and when I’d have friends over. Summer is complicated. But I think it’s a good thing too! Hearted!!
Cute! Love it! Congrats on Top Story!
Great Topic! Well Done! :)
