My Grandmother's clock (Haiku)
Wonderland Challenge Day 2
My grandmother’s clock
A silent tick tock, tick tock,
Nothing more to say.

[Author's note: I just caught up with Elli's challenge, and when I saw the prompt, I immediately thought of my inherited grandmother's clock (pictured above). It is a very old traveller's clock that her mother used. I had it restored a couple of years ago, and recently have been wrestling with it to get it set to tell the right time. It reminds me of her - always silently watching (it has no chime). and always doing things on her time.
A lady of a few words, a haiku seemed the perfect format.]
Till next time,

I love the back story here - thank you for sharing that! It makes the poem so much more powerful knowing that this is THE clock that was hers and the style chosen as she was a woman of few words. Lovely.
A delightful haiku… I love old clocks. I only came across this challenge today when Rachel Deeming’s “Red” poem caught my eye.
Lovely
It’s nice your grandmothers’ clock is silent. 😁
Hi stranger hope your well and good 🌻🌻🌻
