Time

Make time as your lifetime partner in your 
journey to success. 
                               Quote by poet 

Every time some poets read poems
In the  gardens, they get great time. 
Living on earth  ,  receiving poems daily 
And seeing things from different angles. 
Writing and Understanding them diffently, 
Some writers prefer metaphoric and ironic  
Speeches for their personal reasons, 
Sometimes some  readers suffer 
To see the hidden truth in the speeches, 
Dictionaries struggling  to discover 
Metaphoric or Ironic 
Spoken or written words, 
And  life goes on. 

Every time poets open their eyes and ears,  
Understand  all the poems correctly. 
Happily while reading all the poems daily, 
Chuckling peacefully here, 
Dancing  samba and rumba there 
Drumming in african rhythms 
Messaging while  singing  african anthems
Blowing an african trumpet called " Vuvuzela" 
Huh? Some africans remember their struggles 
Every time they hear some traditional songs. 

It is so  good  to see some students practicing poetry 
time by time in the class rooms or school halls
Some student boys and girls  use poetry to express
Their hidden sentiments time to time. 
When some  students are  so late to school, 
Sometime a teacher can  ask , " what is the time?" 
It is nine o'clock , answer from one of the students. 
It is so important for the teachers and students
To respect time to reach the school premises.
Don't ever play with your time on this earth, 
As it is said ," Time is money."
