Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition
I sit upon the wall,
My hands are never still.
I go round and round,
Like an old fashioned mill.
I am lonely when it’s dark,
And there’s no one around.
And angry when the wall lets go,
And I crash on the ground.
I am afraid of when,
My time here is gone.
And I am chucked in the bin,
Broken and forlorn.
My edges shine,
Like our silver dimes.
So look at me now,
And I will tell you the time.
