Poem of the Day 07.03.2024

4th place in the contest

- Ticking Time -

    Time is reality
    A deck of cards
    with a joker
    Coincidences
    does make a difference

    Draw the ace
    don't be picky
    Steady steps
    mechanically driven
 
    Time, a macabre prank
    sinks deep
    The night train maintains its route

The pendulum of the clock swings fast and time fleets away before any one can slower its pace. So enjoy every moment that we get. Many things happen as a coincidence and we are to some extent helpless. Without change, things will move as designed ! Great poem. Congratulations Anne on your POTD. Love and hugs!
