Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Fleeting

where does time go
transient
a fleeting gust of air

non retrievable
a whirlwind in a mirror
fragmented shattered

unforgettable memories
unforgivable regrets
a circular menagerie

slow motion
rewind
replay

a vortex of emotions

Timothy Mcguire December 27, 2018 at 10:58 PM As the old saying goes; "like the sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives" Great poem well written and I enjoyed it a LOT! Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 6:36 AM Thank you so much, Timothy.

L. J. Carber December 25, 2018 at 12:33 PM Nicely done, Line, but I wish you would develop it more-- it's like a tease, an opening to--what?--and by saying this, I mean it as a great compliment. Line Gauthier December 25, 2018 at 5:51 PM Thanks, it certainly is a compliment when you don't want a poem to end - most appreciated. Part of me loves the way short poems really invite the reader to fill in the blanks and share in the creative process. The other part of me loves to ramble on about what's in my heart ad nauseum. LOL

Carolyn Devonshire December 24, 2018 at 9:26 PM Some of the world's greatest minds have ascribed to the belief that all time is happening simultaneously. Your poem reminded me of that, Line. Very nicely penned. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest, Carolyn Line Gauthier December 24, 2018 at 11:33 PM How interesting. Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Carolyn.

M. L. Kiser December 19, 2018 at 10:30 AM Well, another "Fav"; this speaks the way I feel about time, too. Line Gauthier December 20, 2018 at 8:36 PM Thank you so much, ML. Most appreciated.

Rhona Mcferran December 19, 2018 at 10:16 AM So elegantly and aptly phrased... LOVE it! ;) Line Gauthier December 20, 2018 at 8:37 PM Thank you, Rhona. Most appreciated.

Charles Messina December 19, 2018 at 5:40 AM I like this, Line. Time does fly, especially when we don't want it to. lol Line Gauthier December 19, 2018 at 6:32 AM Thanks, Charles. It seems the older we get we have it o fast forward.
