Charles Messina Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Sorry, If I have missed some of your poetry...I don't even have a wife.. both were X'd (lol)

X'D By Time

X'd by time, my eyes close gently in mist  
Rushed by the clock.. work, destiny...wife 
All the great poetry...that I have missed 
So many great poems, stories of life
 
To my fellow poets...let it be known 
If I had more time, I would read you all 
So if have I missed, some poems...you've shown 
So very sorry, for time has held me thrall 

But I promise you all, I'll try...my best 
In time, god willing...I'll read you all soon 
All your friendships and shares...well, I've been blessed 
Closing eyes...Good night, morn or afternoon 

X'd by time, my eyes are gently bawling 
Sorry, got to go...my wife is calling

Carolyn Devonshire January 7, 2020 at 1:11 PM ;) Charlie, no one can keep up with all of the wonderful poems posted on Soup. I share your angst as I'm behind on reading too. Make no apologies; just read what you can. Very well expressed! Best wishes for success if this is entered in Emile's sonnet contest. Hugs, carolyn Charles Messina January 13, 2020 at 10:19 PM ;) Carolyn, I guess that's all I can do.. but one thing for certain (god willing of course) is that I will get around to reading some/many and of course yours :) Not for a contest.. just letting loose some feelings. Hugs, x Charlie
