Notes About The Poem

Placed 1st: Time Poetry Contest by Ink Empress

O, Time

Painting dream-scapes upon canvas of vermilion skies,
O, time! how you elevate my dawn in periwinkle sunrise,
As day’s footprints, glistening amber tapestries rise,
When rhythms of birds, with musical winds harmonize.

O, immortal aura of time! has anyone ever seen you?
Spectacular at birth: wasn’t the big-bang your debut?
What your omnipresence looks like, I have nary a clue,
Ruling my existence, as seamlessly you pass through.

Mockery of love you make, fading it over your domain,
Hurting hearts once enamored, feeling pain of your reign,
O, time! you changed me~ who I was, I’m not the same,
Robbing my vigor as I age, sadly my exuberance you tame.

You transform themes of now, into dreams of morrow,
Planting seeds of hope, healing my wounds of sorrow,
As through your wintry woes rise, avid spring meadows,
Shining motifs of today, glinting yesterday’s shadows.

Moments you take, as earth rotates, turning into days,
Yearning for infinity as you traverse into eternal haze;
Audaciously presupposing your empire shall never end,
As ceaselessly through heaven and earth you transcend.

Silent One March 6, 2024 at 12:31 PM In your poem, Time is personified as a powerful force that shapes human experiences and emotions. The poet uses metaphorical language to depict time's influence on love, growth, and the passage of seasons, adding layers of meaning to the poem's imagery... It rhymes and flows really well.. for me, personification is different, but we all have our own interpretation of things.. Best of luck in the contest..
