Tick Tick Time

By Silvana, Year 8

Tick tick time

Hear the ticks and the tocks of the clocks

It’s always ticking it’s always tocking

it never ever stops

It’s goes on and on and on

It’s valuable it’s limited

It’s got you running around

Because the ticks and the tocks

Will be coming after you

This poem, Tick Tick Time by Silvana was written as part of Factory Feedback. Factory Feedback was designed to support, champion and amplify the voices of the brilliant young people of Australia. In this program, we worked with young people to edit and develop their writing (both fiction and non-fiction) and then publish successful submissions on our website, as well as pay a small honorarium for their work.
