Metronome

Poetry Prompt - Write a three part poem using "metronome".

Metronome

Tick Tick Tick Tick

The metronome ticks and ticks 

Keeping time, keeping time

Doesn't miss, doesn't stick

Keeping on, keeping on

Sitting on my window sill

Keeping time, keeping time

Keep my time, I know you will

Tock Tock Tock Tock

Sway left, sway right

Only one job

All day, all night

Sing me to sleep

with your steady beat

Tick Tick 

Tick repeat

Slowly slowing slowing down

All energy winding, gone

Time to rest, time to sleep

Time to stop singing your song

No one listens as you stop

But you keep on keeping on

Tick all day and through the night

Until your spring is no longer tight

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...
