Notes About The Poem

The Physical World Around Me Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Eve Roper 

The Physical World Around Me

 The physical world around me is constantly changing,
sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad.
I keep saying,
leave things alone until I die.
Then make all the changes you want,
because I will not be in the middle of the changes.
The tech world is moving faster than lightning,
what was new yesterday is old today.
Some say,
the physical world around me is an illusion.
How can I prove this to be right or wrong?
It is something to think about.
In this changing physical world around me,
I need to be like a young tree and bend in the wind of life.

Quoth Theraven October 3, 2026 at 3:40 PM Hello Paula, Very well penned, this one. Purest form in nostalgia, I love that you made me think and feel. What was once nuance as a child to the passing of time, now starkly glaring in all things lost that we held so dear. Lost only to our memories now. Fine write to find today. I hope your day is kind to you. Good luck in the contest. -Richard
