Time Pieces

Time Pieces

writerJohn Heath-Stubbs

Here are 12 poems – one for each of the hours of the day – on clocks, watches and other timing devices. They range from a brash alarm clock and a dignified grandfather clock to an egg-timer and a hectoring pub clock, calling ‘Time’, and the great cosmic clock in which we all find ourselves. There is variety, wit and humour and a touch of the serious mystery of time.
