That was a good poem! I enjoyed it though I'm late to respond.

Here is one of mine.

Once Late at Night

In the deep hour of delight

In the blackness I seen

A wee bit of white.

All over in the sky

I found my eye

Attentive on the glory of God

I saw chapter nineteen

And verse one

Out of the book of Psalm.

It was one starry world,

The universe long,

Long and long

Like life is everlasting goes

On, on and on.

I saw God when I looked

On a starry night I was hooked.

Open your eyes into

The light in the night,

Keep your eyes awake children

Use your hearts

Look out at all the stars

With your eyes leaping away.

The stars have been spread

Like what I have read

Then may we be seen tonight,

I'll see me in the starlight.

This one of mine is about madness written with a whimsical touch.

 

THE DREAM I ONCE HAD

 

O ‘twas a Starry and Nightly Sight

 

Boo or grr or ha or ah ha!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

La, la, la, la, la!

Da, da, da, da, da!

And ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Then once more.

Boo or grr or ha or ah ha!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

La, la, la, la, la!

Da, da, da, da, da!

And ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Then ta da!

Tick tock, tick tock…

O ‘twas a starry and

Nightly sight.

 

O ‘twas a Man like a Clock

 

O Fool! Fool! Fool!

I will ridicule a fool!

Fool! Fool! Fool!

It’s you who

Broke this bloke.

My glass is cracked,

My numbers

Not so black,

And my hands

Won’t go back!

They spin all

Around in craze,

I’m madder with age,

Crazier than a

Thousandth page!

Cobweb on my face

And a spider’s long legs!

Fool! Fool! Fool!

I will ridicule a fool!

Fool! Fool! Fool!

What goes ding,

What goes dong,

What goes

Ding and dong

The hour strikes

Twelve in the light!

Yet it’s night!

What goes ah ha!

Now goes blah!

Who goes nah!

I’m not at awe!

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

I‘ve been

Here nevermore

And it will be evermore.

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

I will remind

I’m a grandfather clock

Who has lived his life

With a topper hat

Flaming at the top

As smoke gets hazy.

I have a rustic grain

And all the

Grandmother clocks

Stop and look,

Now I am amazing!

A big fat crack

In the glass!

How mad!

You must

Have been lazy!

How sad!

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

I’m berserk,

Read the time again!

You mistook!

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

Now I’m mad as time!

All the time

Going around!

I say to myself!

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

I will ridicule a fool!

FOOL! FOOL! FOOL!

 

O ‘twas a Golden Pocket Watch

 

Once upon a time

In the night

In a dreamy state

There was,

“Listen well!

Listen well!

Listen well!

A golden pocket watch

Repeated over and over

Like a heart.

Listen well!

Listen well!

Listen well!

And listen well!

You have been ornery

I have a better story.

At the tingle of

It is mad, mad, mad,

Mad, mad, mad. 

Go to sleep my friend

Nonsense is a godsend.

Listen well! Listen well!

Listen well,

Well, well, well, well, well.

My honest madness

Forever pans,

Pans, pans,

Pans, pans, pans!

Once upon a time

In the night

In a dreamy state

There was,

A tick tock and tick!

It was the sound of a

Golden watch!

Tick tock,

Tick tock and tick!

Listen well!

Listen well!

Listen well, well,

Well, well, well, well!

My honest madness

Forever pans,

Pans, pans,

Pans, pans, pans!

“My name is

Tick and Tock

As it is written

On my face!”

All you can ever hear!

Once upon a time

In the night

In a dreamy state

There was,

A tick tock and tick!

It was the sound of a

Golden watch!

The time stopped

And unheard,

Reappeared.

Thank you for sharing these poems. They really are good and I enjoyed reading. If I may, they reminded me of the Mad hatter. 🧬
