Eve Roper Poet Monorhyme

Time

Children weave through the green field in laughter. 
Romantic string lights hang off the rafter. 
Time slowly ebbs with pleasure time after 
Time in endless undisputed master.

Absent is the sound of children's laughter 
While dust, spider webs, hang of the rafter. 
Time nobly walked slowly, wouldn't chase after 
The Hag of Beara and august master.

Judy Ball April 12, 2019 at 9:52 AM Oh well done Eve. A fine write in every way. Ah fleeting youth seems to last forever when it's here but once it's gone it seems like the time went by way too fast. Love this. God Bless, JB
