Time

Time Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Ink Empress 2nd Place --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Know the value of time… Whiling it away is a grave crime! When you are in your prime, Every peak you try to climb! Using seconds as granules of lime Make your life so sublime! Run not madly after the dime; Spoil not life’s rhythm and rhyme! Time has a past, present and future; Amend your past cuts with a fine suture! Time is the best judge; On you it has no grudge! It always persuades you to budge; Sure, it cleans every sludge!

This is so lyrical and beautifully woven for time; i love your rhymes here and flow of your word weaving; especially “ Using seconds as granules of lime“ creative line! “ Run not madly after the dime; Spoil not life’s rhythm and rhyme” powerful! And i agree. Great reminder to your readers. Last lines too are well delivered and articulated. Pleasure reading this, congratulations on your win
