Lena Townsend Poet Quatrain

Time Slipped Away

I started reading early
The poetry on this site
I had so much fun 
The day turned into night

I’m not sure when it happened
Or what I can say
I enjoyed myself so much
The time just slipped away

It wasn’t really my plan
To read all day long
But everyone writes so well
The time was just gone

I really love this site
And all that I have read
I am honored to be here
But now I’m heading to bed!
