L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Time

‘Tis true, time waits for no man, but moves swiftly along
     Age to eon, in big laps or small, time is never retrievable
          Once gone it can never be recaptured, even in song
               Moving inexorably forward into realms unbelievable.

Your friend Darlene Darlene De Beaulieu May 28, 2021 at 10:45 AM Hello Milton, i am sorry I got the name wrong. What do you mean that Panagiota doesn't allow comments on her poetry for some reason! I will check it out o you. L Milton Hankins May 27, 2021 at 6:04 PM Darlene, this is not Panagiota. This is Milt. Sorry for the confusion. Panagiota doesn't allow comments on her poetry, as of lately, for some reason.

Sotto Poet May 24, 2021 at 3:13 AM Very wise quatrain Milton, no one can never go back and reclaim what has been lost. Time does not wait for everyone, but it passes at a remarkable pace from age to age, from era to era, from long spans of time to short ones. L Milton Hankins May 24, 2021 at 7:47 AM Thanks, Lasaad, for your wise comment on my poem.
