twenty four hours

[punkpixie]

I want to stop all the clocks and make time forget about how it has to move forward. Why when you don't want it to go so quickly do the hours slip by so easily? These minutes are in meltdown. Outside your house tonight is the last time-check I want to remember because what follows is all that cliched stuff. It seems stereotypical to point it out but what the hell. You know I'd rather live on the outside of the hour and pin the second hand down. Tick follows tock and that's the way it's always been. My grandad used to fix clocks in his spare? time but never made it his profession. I never got in on the secret. All I would want is for eleven and twelve to switch places so I can rewind back to a time when I felt safe (even though the second hand is still always in chase with the first). Change your name but it's all the same. Forever you are snapped out of sleep and as the alarm rings you are left to conclude: "the old stories are always the best because they've got the years behind them. I would like to listen to you tell them but it's getting to the point where your face is just another clock to me."

I enjoyed that. Nice one, what inspired you to write it?

Lots of things really. Time was really flying by towards something I didn't want to do. Then we got talking about my grandad and it just came together like that.

I'm glad you liked it.

That was PERFECT.

haha. No it's my genes. I can't help it!

This is lovely. Prose poetry, right? You do it extremely well. I really love how you made the theme of time consistant throughout and suceeded in creating a distinct feeling and emotion that's tied to what you've written. Seriously, great job.

That's my style. I adore prose poetry.

I'll ask you because you are on a creative writing course too, have you come across any good prose poetry, that you would reccommend? I'm looking to read some more.

You always amaze me. I'm running out of nice things to say about your work and I think I'm beginning to repeat myself.

Yeah, I've been doing that for a while. haha

"Brilliant." "Wow." "Amazing." "Incredible."

Yep.

I really like Charles Baudelaire's "Be Drunk" and Campbell McGrath's "The Prose Poem". Gertrude Stein wrote some insane, beautiful prose poetry, as well. Michael Benedikt writes great prose poetry, too. But my two all time favorite prose poems are Dionisio D. Martinez' "The Prodigal Son in His Own Words: Bees" and "The Colonel" by Carolyn Forche.

haha sorry. I get enthusiastic about poetry.
