What is Time?

Goldfinch60



What is time?

Do we need time?

Time for what?

Time to work?

Time to play?

Time to love?

Time to hate?

Time to write?

Time to paint?

Time to create?

Time on our hands.

Time,

That never-ending

Line of moments,

Moments in our life.

Each moment different,

Each moment wonderful,

Time is moments,

Time is wonderful.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Yesterday I wrote a poem called "What is the Time?". Santita made a comment on it and asked what my theory about time was, I said I had written another poem about time which may answer that question. The YouTube piece does not have any reference to The Alamo but it is the only clip that I could find with the original tune that I wanted to put with this poem as it talks about time and I have always enjoyed this version of the song. So this is for you Santita.

            A bit of French there Brian? Tempus Wotsit and Carpe Diem? Is that a type of fish? (Carp). Say that again in English?!

          • Michael Edwards

            I don't mind a bit of water in my scotch but only water and nothing else - will find time for one before lunch.

            I am so glad I had time to read just in time to appreciate it in a timely fashion. So thanks for this time, until the next time... Oh I'm out of time.

              So glad you find time to share your poetry, Goldie! Always enjoyable.

                Thank you Louis, my pleasure.

              • FredPeyer

                Goldfinch, I think the lines 'Time, that never-ending line of moments' must be one of the best descriptions of time I ever read. Great poem!

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Fred, much appreciated.

                • myself and me

                  I got lost in your time, and forgot my time.
                  Great.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Time is so easy to get lost in M and M. Thank you.

                  • Simple-Man87

                    I love "time is moments."

                    I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing.

                      Thank you SM much appreciated.

                    • dusk arising

                      If i only had time

                      to learn my five times table

                      a timely reminder

                      Once upon a time a gal called Rosemary (who couldn't spell) married time.....

                      nice writing sir

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thanks DA, much appreciated.

                        What a write! Glad I found time to read it; thoroughly enjoyed yours. A refreshing perspective on time. And the coincidence did not escape me. Only yesterday I uploaded my own poem on time with a different take "Friendly Tyrant". You may wish to compare notes.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Thank you Seek, time is a paradox.
