As Time Ticks Away

Wondrous reigns the gift of your trait To build future on strengths innate; Knowing ticks of time rule your day Don't just dawdle on aimless way Strive now to mold shape of your fate. September 13, 2021 Form: Quintilla Eight syllables per line

I have never done a Quintilla that I can remember, glad I saw this one. I will have to look it up and see if I can do one. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for the visit to my page. Sara
