Example Poem/Song Using Ticking
The clock is ticking, counting down,
Each second like a precious crown,
A rhythm that we cannot escape,
A beat that we cannot reshape.
With every tick and every tock,
Our lives keep moving, like a clock,
Picking up speed and gaining ground,
Ticking faster, with every sound.
The slicking of the pen on paper,
The flicking of the light switch later,
The clicking of the mouse with ease,
The tricking of the mind to please.
The bickering of two lovers’ spat,
The lurking in the shadows, flat,
The striking of the hammer hard,
The smirking at the joke, unmarred.
The hiking up the mountain high,
The thinking thoughts that make us sigh,
The slinking through the crowd with care,
The blinking back a lonely tear.
But through it all, the clock keeps ticking,
A beat that we cannot stop, unyielding,
A reminder that time is fleeting,
And every moment, worth repeating.
So let us cherish every tick,
And every moment that’s so quick,
For life is like a clock, ticking,
A melody that’s always clicking.
