Do you ever get confused when you look at an analog clock?
For me, I look at it and I just go blank.
The numbers blur and the hands just make me dizzy.
I do like the clicking noise however.
I just cannot, for the life of me, decipher the time.
The long hand is the minute hand,
no… wait… it’s the hour hand… no… wait… it’s the minute hand? argh!
I should know this!
Time is wasting Aaron, make up your mind…
I could stand there for an hour trying to figure out the time.
I suppose that would be considered time wasted?
I get frustrated within a few seconds of trying and anxiously look around for a digital clock, my safety.
“There’s got to be the time somewhere? Anywhere!”, this thought races through my head, frantically.
“I’m not stupid, clocks just confuse me.”, did I just not learn correctly? I need to write down the time, but I can’t tell the time! Someone usually steps in and I thank them anxiously, and avert my eyes.
The face of the clock just makes me cloudy.
I go blank and my eyes lose focus sometimes.
It’s pretty to look at though.
For now, I will just state that I have clock dyslexia.
Besides, most of the digital clocks have more accuracy, you can get a more exact time from them! That way I can tell when it’s 12:34.56PM, my favorite time of the day.
YA DIDN’T GROW UP WITH IT…THAT’S OKAY! I DETEST AN UNLIT DIGITAL CLOCK GTHAT I CAN’T SEE FROM A DISTANCE….THE WAY I COULD WITH A LARGE ANALOG CLOCK. BY THE WAY….WHAT STYLE OF POETRY IS THIS…..FREESTYLE?
I’m not really sure what kind of poetry it is. I think it’s more of a humorous anecdote. I may have tagged/categorized it as poetry though. I like a good digital clock, especially if I can get the milliseconds!
Sounds good to me…despite what THE ELITIST POET says…on BY THE MIGHTY MUMFORD (my blog).
I read that! I liked it. I must say, I don’t know a lot about poetry. I really like trying to make haiku (or haikus?). I’d like to learn how to do limericks and more poetry.
WELL THEN…haiku is either singular or plural. For limericks…check out http://www.limericks.org…for a good definition and several samples…plus history. I wrote and submitted to THE PENTATETTE newsletter for several years to hone my own limerick writing.
Okay, thanks! I just read the definition. I think limericks sound fun, especially since they can contain puns and word play. Puns are enjoyable!
