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 Date: 12/27/2018 10:58:00 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! Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 12/28/2018 6:36:00 AM Thank you so much, Timothy.

L. J. Carber Date: 12/25/2018 12:33:00 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. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 12/25/2018 5:51:00 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 Date: 12/24/2018 9:26:00 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 Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 12/24/2018 11:33:00 PM How interesting.
