Clock Works
Tick, Tock
Tick, Tock
Tick, Tock
Bring!
Big Clocks
Little Clocks
Longcase
Carriage
Wooden Clocks
Metal Clocks
Plastic ones too
Mechanical
Digital
Ticking
Chiming
Alarming
Hands turning
Pendulums swinging
Lights flashing
Clocks of every kind
Wouldn’t want to wind them
Wouldn’t want to find them
When an alarm blurts out
This poem is inspired by a temporary art installation at Nostell Priory called Harrison's Garden, commissioned to commemorate the 300th anniversary of one of John Harrison's Longcase clocks that has recently been returned to Nostell Priory. The art installation involves 2000 clocks arranged in one room by artist Luke Jerram.
