Hour

Humans wake up don’t waste the rushing hour
                          Your children looking at what you've done
                               Depend their future on your hand
                                     Counting the near days
                                         To draw their fate
                                               Hey again!
                                                    You!
                                                    See!
                                               Well stand!
                                          Tame time stared
                                       Waiting to see the new
                                 The novel bright, significant sun 
                           Lifting your sorrow unchain for tomorrow   
                       Work hard aim big to gain the dream dreamed

Kabuteng P.Ink K. May 30, 2013 at 10:24 AM I really like the formatting that you did here, Elai-- and I agree with Eileen, this can be listed under shape poetry. This is a nice wake up call, so to speak. Elai Cee June 1, 2013 at 7:17 PM thanks P.Ink

Eileen Manassian May 24, 2013 at 10:36 AM This is lovely! It could go under shape poem as well. I LOVE that last line...really brings the message home! :) Thanks for your visits! :) Elai Cee May 24, 2013 at 11:39 AM welcome lovely... thank you too
