NOW THEN
When all the nows are whens
and now today is yesterday
tomorrow now is then.
When soon is now and now it’s gone
how many nows in yesterday?
Where will they all come from?
I wonder if it’s true somehow
when soons are found
will they be now.
They disappeared in early morn
where are they stored?
I’m quite confused I want to yawn.
’
Tomorrow when the nows are gone
and soon is later yesterday
will everybody say: ‘Now then!

Did our discussion lead you (or both of us) up the garden path? And why would it lead us up a garden, of all things?! It was good to have that chat with you tomorrow (eh?).
My garden path doesn't go up or down - it's very flat.
Currently waiting for a quote for a complete redesign o f the garden so it might go up or down in the future - or will be sometime in the past? Errr...!
Doh! We don't know where we are, what with this extra hour too.
Clever write Michael, but didn't we have that conversion in a years time where we talked about all our nows in the future and all our whens with Orchi in the present or maybe back in the days of 2043.
"Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday"
I've got a headache - there is a leak in the house somewhere where an extra hour crept in - I'm feeling a bit lost in time.
Love how your crazy mind works
When indeed it does work. Thanks so much Jooles
YESTERDAYS gone Dear Michael
Tomorrow may never be MINE
So show me the way
To lIve for TODAY
ONE DAY at a TIME
CARPE DIEM ~ AMEN !
Thanks UNCLE MIKE for another "Timeless Poem" and more CHEE CHEE Ducks ~ AMEN !
Yours as always BRIAN !
I don't know where I am - could I be Dr Who in disguise?
Love it! My mind is tingling now or was that then, dam it makes me want to keep writing.
Thank you for sharing
You might wish to keep writing but then or soon - oh the decisions.
How's that evening going M? By the time I found out what Carpe Diem meant, there was none of the day left to seize. Doh!
Going?
Where's it going?
Time for breakfast!
Excellent Michael
I love the saying that TODAY is a gift... that's why we call it the prsent
Who said that... NOW THEN
Like it
Now when?
When soon?
🙂
Michael,
Nice write Dr. Who! My head is spinning with the nows, the whens, the soons, etc.
“Now Then” let me compliment you on your artwork! Love the geese in flight!
~Laura~
As long as your body is spinning in time with it - if not you'll end up knotted.
Cheers Laura
These days of future past have led me to believe that last weeks job tomorrow will be late unless, with the benefit of hindsight, should i chose to return, without wishing to make a prediction upon the likelihood of reaping the benefits of a penalty clause.
I used to write penalty clauses in JFDI contracts - In fact I wrote one tomorrow and might write another one yesterday.
Love the sense of humor in you work.
Also your sketches are beautiful. So simple and elegant.
