Our Moment In Time

This I can relate to....Mmmmm....That's the way it is Wilma, that darn clock! Joy

haha my you're really sticking to making me a scapegoat huh? lol ;) but hmmm like I said that headache's just brought about by lack of sleep-- haha Mr. Headache's sure having a field day! ;)

If only we could stop time, Wilma! Think of all the joyful days we could preserve forever. Very uplifting tanka, dear. Love, Carolyn

Time is fleeting and then it's gone. It sucks when you know time is running short. I'm not a fan of repetition, but lines 1 and 3 are strong in portraying the tick of time. I have a poem on time, too. I wanted to stop the clock also.

Outstanding write, Wilma. Enjoyed. Nice going. xxxRalph

Thanks for commenting on my poetry, yes, Wilma, if we could just stop the clock, expecially when with the one we love~~ Love Constance

I stopped the clock and now you mine. Love your poems grilfriend

Nice use of the tanka form! Wish we could stop the clock but as Khayam said - "the moving finger writes and having writ moves on.." Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Hate to sound like a broken record, butbeen their too many times.... your heart is good and with that it shall shine ...luv Michael

Clever Tanka Wilma. Sometimes it would be so nice to stop the clock >> James

Yes we all have moments we would like to make last..very nice tanka Wilma..Take care~Deb

Thank you, Ms. WilMa :) you are ever so kind :) just like my mom lol --you have to bear with me ok? I am awake yet again at 2am in the morning this is the super duper last comment with regards to that--haha the tadpole grew into a frog again--there- (yeah right) anyhow-- I wanted to thank you for your comments-- that was sort of inspired by a friend who got married ;) though tweaked some bits like she is not a fart...smart but definitely not a fart ;)

If only that were possible Wilma ... we all would do that ..stop time..but its out of our control..your words tell it well today... a very thought provoking piece of poetry my friend.. enjoyed with luv..

I LIKE this kind of poem, asking time to stop. You know I know how important that is to us both!! Luv, Andrea

Very meaningful tanka-- don't we all wish sometimes that we can just freeze time? Sorry I fell off the face of email earlier lol-- I had to eat my merienda cena :) haha what can I do? I needed brain food so I can write ;) now I am off yet again to eat some crab & corn soup haha (see what snacking does to me? I get hungry at weird intervals!!) --nikko :)
