Thank you Bojenn.
Comment from Joan E.
I admired the onomatopoeia and the swinging sensation created by your words and the repeated motion of the palindrome. Best wishes to us both in the contest--wouldn't it be delightful if we tied! -Joan

Comment from sunnilicious
My parents use to have a grandfather clock. It only worked some of the time. But I use to love to look at that brass pendulum. You brought back a nice memory. And this poem came out quite nicely. Excellent work.

Comment from Cry the Vile Rebel
Your poem captures both the relentlessness and monotony of time. This, I predict, will be a very strong entry into the contest. Best wishes and good luck!

Thank you Cry the Vile Rebel. That would be awesome.
Comment from Eternal Muse
This was an interesting Palindrome which is also great shape poetry. I absolutely love that shape. You picked a good subject and the visuals are outstanding! I can almost hear the "tic toc" of the clock. You fulfilled the contest requirements fine, and this would make a strong contender.
The picture is stunning, and compliments the poem well.
Good luck in the contest with this winning entry.
Love, Y.

Thank you very much yeltel . Very encouraging comments.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Awesome, my friend, simply outstanding!
It's so captivating how the poem encapsulates time and the meticulous, undeterred swinging of a pendulum. Grandfather clocks are an especially good example. Many associate the word, "pendulum" with that infamous torture device used during the dark ages. I suppose they, too, deliver their own precise stoppage of time...
Fantastic work, Mr. T!

Thanks Dean. Yes, I thought a pendulum would be right up your alley,
Congratulations on you award.
Comment from Capricorn30
A well-penned commentary expressing the slow movement of seconds as life is measured by languid moments of the ticking clocks' rhythm.
Indeed, time does not always pass by quickly.

Hi, Treischel,
This is an excellent palindrome. It meets the requirements of the form. It has flow and structural symmetry which is visually pleasing. As always you are the master of poetic technique. It was pleasing.

Thank you Preston. This was a very difficult write. The style is very limiting. I appreciate your input.
Comment from Curtis Hatch
Treischel,
The palindrome poem is nicely done, and it tells its story well. The imagery is outstanding as time becomes the focal point.
Time can be our enemy, or it can be our friend. As we exist in our society of schedules and appointed times, it is a major part of our lives. I haven't decided if the invention of the clock was a blessing or a cursing. Time seems always to bring with it stress.
I enjoyed the read. of color scheme, format, and graphics complete the work.

Thank you Curtis. Your observations on time create a good question.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your well-written poem makes perfect use of repetition to indicate how we feel when we're waiting . . . waiting--regardless of what we're expecting.
Makes me think to Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum"!

Thank you Janice. I purposely left out what waiting for is. Yes, I did think of Poe too.
