time unwraps , reminding us
.of the hours lost, indicating
...the seconds , destined
........to come our way

**Shape Poetry:
Shape is one of the main things that separate prose and poetry.Poetry can take on many formats, but one of the most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject. Therefore, if the subject of your poem were of a flower, then the poem would be shaped like a flower. If it were of a fish, then the poem would take on the shape of a fish. ><<<*>

    Shape or concret poetry is a very difficult thing to do. I only made one sofar, about a tree and I know of one other person this site to have tried it too ( came out beautifully btw!)
    I think you meant to say the pendulum strikes instead of stikes?

    I love the shape and the message, very true indeed:)

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid

    The poem is good and I could imagine the pendulum moving as I read. It would be really nice if we could do the shape poetry without having to use dots and dashes. (smiles) Well done.
