DnW Poetry Contest #3: Chrono Triggered


Title: Chrono Triggered
Author: @lapizlazuli

A sudden thing I think to keep
A force so grave I must not skip
But fast or slow it makes me shout
Now I need to let it all out!

This "anger" that can stun and jump
That sudden jolt that makes feet stamp
If recalled, the gut and mind warp
Minding it will speed turns so sharp

So harmful, a void reaction
From this "outlet" driven action
Still I muse if I'd put a show
Bottle up, or go with the flow?

Minutes passed, I've finished this trial!
From nature's call, I heed the Dial
Thank you for reading my story
Of me in the lavatory


Notes:

  • Italicized terms are commonly used with the word "time."
  • Bold terms usually describe or measure "time."
  • For both: physics formula for Force has time included, Dial may pertain to sundial or the soap (or phone dial, a pun for "call" in "nature's call").
  • Other words:
    1. anger - Fil: "sama ng loob," idiom for "that stuff"
    2. jump - to escalate
    3. outlet - hole
  • Used poetic license to attempt to make tetrameter; grammar and flow might be subpar.

*Sorry for the sensitive topic, I wanted to make something comical.

Thanks for dropping by!
