Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Ink Empress 
Contest: I Miss 

I Miss

I should have when I could have but did not, 
In retrospect I missed a chance or two. 
I see it now! If only then I knew -
I would have given life a better shot!

But who has time to waste on reminisce?
Past's desiccated dust settled by Now, 
Long overdue wholehearted weary vow - 
Time in and of itself one should not miss.

Your poem is excellent but I particularly love that opening line of yours. Sometimes I can read a poem and its first line doesn't draw me in. That certainly isn't the case here. Thanks for sharing. Cheers - Gary

Very well written and expressed, sometimes there isnt even enough time to miss what we had and loved and chances we could have taken. Wise take on the theme. Pleasure reading this, congratulations on your win
