Cantankerous Clock
The Clock: Wonderland Challenge Day 2
Stubbornly staring me down
Making me look like a clown!
I beg and I plead
Desperate to read
something different in your face.
But no… Time refuses to race
whenever classroom chaos does rule
Please! Just get me out of school!
*
Another day, it’s Period One…
my day has only just begun.
The Library expectantly awaits
another of our seventy minute ‘dates‘.
Your face agrees with this blissful state…
Next glance… there has to be some mistake!
Time’s run out! Flown right by!
Cantankerous Clock! You go slow, then fly!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Cantankerous indeed! Flying by in times of fun and slow as a snail through the drudgery! So relatable and fun, Angie!
Gosh does this resonate! So relatable! I remember staring at the clock in school and 5 minutes felt like an hour sometimes.
Hahahahhahahaha that made me laugh! Loved it!
Interesting!!!
