About This Poem

On Eagle's Wings


Who can confine time?
What can we do to hold it?
When it keeps slipping?
Where does it fly so quickly?
Why is it so infinite?

    Hi, there, Yasmin! It's so fun going thru these kinds of winner lists where each poem is a short one and we know exactly what to expect from the forms. Big congrats to you. I enjoy seeing you on the various winner lists.

    Hi Yasmin - Congratulations on your win! Wish I had all of the answers, that there was a power to confine time, and that we could hold it in place until we were ready to move it forward. - Gail
