Time to Invent!

Before the summer, the children's school gave the prompt for the summer writing competition. It was to be any piece of writing about inventors or an invention in any style. It was a nice prompt, because the previous two had been fiction prompts (first lines). This one opened that up nicely.

This is my entry.

Time to invent

Tick tock

Tick squock

Dials are wriggled

Nobbles are squiggled

Wind, wind, whirr, whirr

Tick tock

Tick splat

Teeny tiny

Weeny whiny

Cogs are rattled.

Wind, wind, whirr, whirr

Tick tock

Tick twang

Coffee is drunk

Thoughts are thunk

Tick tock

Tick tweee

Heads are scratched

Hair detached

Tables are kicked…

…catches are flicked

Wind, wind, whirr, whirr

Tick tock

Tick… tock

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick! Tock!

TICK!!! TOCK!!!

!!! !!!!

A chime has chimed

Brass numbers shine

The invention of Time.
