Author's Notes: "The Present," is a Heroic Couplet I wrote and set in Iambic Pentameter. I wrote this poem as a follow-on to the heroic couplet I finished and posted yesterday on "The Past." This write looks at the eternal time continuum from a present perspective, and focuses on the very fleeting nature of the "now" moments which are reflective of actions occurring in the present progressive mode. The final heroic couplet in this trilogy, "The Future," I have planned to write over the next day or so. Its emphasis will be on the nature of planned or spontaneous events as they unfold for people in the future on the time continuum beyond what has occurred in the past and the present. (Gary Bateman - December 26, 2014) (Heroic Couplet in Iambic Pentameter)
