Time is an illusion

Posted on 10/08/2020 | 34 Comments

time is of the essence

deadline coming soon

time is money

deadline is tight

time is relative

deadline looms

time running out

deadline is past

ending of the end

tick tock goes the clock

swoosh!

    This is gorgeously worded! I love the combination of time and deadlines as they both go hand in hand 🙂

    I wonder if people realise clocks will keep ticking well beyond a perceived end.

    I enjoyed the way you played with ‘time’ and ‘deadline’, Eugenia. As I get older, I am ever more conscious of the final deadline.

    How Eugenia. I’m a day late getting around to reading peoples works but I love what you wrote here so I guess the wait was worth it. 🙂 You dealt with time wonderfully in this poem, and I love the GIF that you put at the top. Fascinating. Great choice, great work.

    This reminds me of those days of chaos, 9-5 and then some, when I didn’t know which end of me was up!! Beautifully illustrated!!

    I like time is relative as it really depends on one’s perspective. I like the found poem, thanks!

    The alternating lines of time and deadline felt like the tick-tock of the clock. Very inventive. Your graphic is mesmerizing!
