Tick tock...tick tock...
Life is counting down on your internal clock.
Memories that feel as if they occurred yesterday
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.
People you once knew
walk by without a clue.
The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.
Years fly...friends die...
and you never know when you'll say your last
goodbye.
Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
spend it with loved ones and cherish what once was
mine.
Or to go back even more,
being a kid in a candy store.
How I miss the way I used to feel
on Christmas day when Santa was real.
But back to reality...back to today,
family is scarce and memories continue to fade away.
Tick tock...tick tock...
How I wish I could control this clock.

5. • Based on the poetry above, the mood that the poet
create through his use of imagery are vary. The first
one is the nostalgic, the second is lonely, the third is
reminiscent, the fourth is regretful, the fifth is
disappointed, and the last is maybe the impossibility.
IMAGERY

6. • The imagery from this poetry creates several emotions tingling in myself. I
feel sad when I imagine the time that I spent with my family and friends
turned into the fragments of memories. The memories of the past that feel as
if they occurred not so long ago. The more time I spend alone, the more I
realized that everyone who were once close to me, starting to make their
distance. There are many kind of thoughts that are piling up inside my head.
Where did I go wrong ? If we are born alone, then, is it true that the human
/ people are destined to die alone ? Whatever it is, we should started to
cherish the time with the people that we cherish, as someone said- " A life
spent doing mistakes is better than a life spent doing nothing."
IMAGERY

7. • It is using several characters and setting, the first is the inside speaker. The poet uses
“I” frequently, which describes the memory of someone (maybe the author
himself). The second is the listener, I think, this poetry is expressed by the poet to
the adult people, the person who is busy with his/her life. They didn’t have enough
time to relax, to socialize with their family, friends, etc. The third is the participant
(supporting), in this case, the participant is the clock and the time.
CHARACTERS AND SETTING

8. • Stanzas are a series of lines grouped together and separated by
an empty line from other stanzas. There are many kind of
stanzas, but in this poetry, the stanza that is used by the the
poet is the Couplet : two lines of verse that rhyme at the end
and are thought as one unit.
STANZAS

9. • Rhyme is the rhyming of words at the ends of lines of poetry.
This poetry use Couplet Rhyme : It contains two-line stanzas
with the “AA” rhyme scheme, which often appears as “AA BB
CC and DD…”
