I love this piece. What a wonderful imagination, and a great use of words. I like the twist to the story as well. I will return to read more of your poetry. Kind regards, Louisa.
P.S. I am new here, so still finding my way around the different sites on the board.
Thank you for sharing this story, Joyce. Blessings to you,

I liked the way you told this story... yes, it sounds like something one would read in a storybook, or watch in a movie. Very interesting and entertaining.
Joyce,
I've heard of things like this hapening before. maybe you should have a "real" intuitive psychic investigator check this relic out and find out what other secrets it holds...

Joyce, this is one of the best narrative poems I have read in ages.
I agree with a comment made below that this could easily be expanded into a novel.
In a word, this piece is exceptional.
Whoa, powerful write, here. I shivered a bit when the clock stopped at 11:55 and then to tell about the previous owners. After reading this I feel like going to an estate sell to find a treasure. You can convince anyone of anything with your writing. Excellent. Liz
I really liked the poem . Relics from the past are rare and special. I am glad you have the clock to savor and keep. The hand written note is very special too.. I felt tingles when I read it.. I have copies of old letters written by my grand and great grandmother , plus letters from grt uncles and aunts that have been preserved thru the years. Also have original news accounts of my great uncle who was a balloonist in the late 1800s and 1900s. I hope to write his story someday!........m
Oh Joyce, what a spectacular find! A little piece of history unfolded and devulged its secrets to you. The hands of the clock were trying to tell anyone who would listen and it took all these years later. Absolutely fantastic.....
An interesting and well-written poem, Joyce, and a wonderful "find" in that old clock. It sounds like a treasured piece for the origional owners. It makes me think how much we take for granted our clocks. They start our day and guide us through the minutes and hours, and we hardly even think how much a dutiful friend they are as we glance at them repeated throughout any given day.
This clock represents so much. The generations of its owner and the memories that it has held all through these years. Makes me think of that one item that I'd love to have passed on from one generation to another.
I'm so glad you found this WONDERFUL BLESSING!
YOUr appreciation for the others generations!
beamed through out your write!
I was entranced from the first word!
Paul loves old clocks, I had to read this one to him!
WE walked in a clock store for hours, near a quaint beach years ago, I never forgot his explaining of "Clock" and you brought it all back Lady J~~~
YOUr find was truly ONE oF a Kind!
and the mystery you gave this write, needs to go into it's OWN page! to be shared with many caring eyes!
This write is a treasure! I plan to savorrrrrrr!
Thank YOU for your caring heart Lady J!
and expressing *(the way you do) your heartfelt treasure!

BE SAFE!
Stay POsitive!
STep back in time, was sweetly divine!
Even without the mystery aspect, your tale of the wonderful "find" was exciting and entertaining. Then the strange stopping of the clock at that significent time--leaves one speechless. All I know is that strange things do happen and we are just left wondering.
Those that search, find; those that look, see.
As always and excellent penned work, this time with that kind of awe at the fun and games that coincidence? throw at us.

Oh my Joyce, this is unerving, yet very intriguing. It brings to mind a host of questions left unaswered. Beautifully done.
Hugs, Laura
Wow I found myself dancing down the page
To find out the answer to this mystery
of time it's very strange how the clock
And time stop at that specific hour and minutes
and on the specific day that they Sarah and Mary Carter died!
This is absolutely a stunning story needing to unfold!
Truly enjoyed this journey into the hands of time!!

Joyce, a lifetime span of a family from many years ago, you've captured this reader with a mystery that you hold in your voice and lead us through until the last line. The images are fantastic and this reader's imagination ran wild as I visioned many things that could come to life in the ending. Makes one wonder where they lived, why did two of them die on the same day, and many unanswered questions? I liked this a lot and you captured a great poem in this writing.

This is outstanding literature. A verse that expands throughout one era and touches another. The construct of the story was gripping, the content absorbing and a tale of two tales was woven. An absolute pleasure to read.
good write. i like how it builds up to the end. a real mystery story and haunting one! we want to know more: why they died at the same time or on the same day. who would have that info? thanks for sharing this one.

Wow, what a find...
Enjoyable to experience a little history...
and I agree with Ed..
Oh what a wonderful science fiction or mystery novel one could make. Imagine searching the lives of each of these to find why they were so much alike. The Clock chimes but sometimes its silence is even more of an attention getter.
Revenge is Fun series. Publisher Vinny Vitali deserves to be whacked, but for some reason he's like a cat with 9 lives. He's holding a mob widow's memoir hostage and the authors want to kill him, but he won't die.
