Yesterday

By Poet "I do not know where the time goes. It just goes running away." Yesterday when Everyone was kind Smiles were on all The faces both young and old Everyone had a hop in their step Reading books from writers and not from an AI Days were happy and never sad All prayed for the world Yesterday why did you go away?

Hey my dear Paula. So clever is your "Yesterday". We've certainly lost some of our simplicity and creativity. Nice acrostic! :)

Thanks for your note. Glad you enjoyed my "Yesterday" Acrostic write. You are so right when you say, "We've certainly lost some of our simplicity and creativity." The question is "why." AI will not help us yet many think it will. More simplicity/creativity will be gone... So Sad... Have a blessed day writing away....................

Life has changed much. Many things happening around us are unpalatable now. Men, especially people of our age always feel that yesterdays were better than our todays. Now time is flying so fast. In the wink of an eye, today turns into yesterday. Our age too advances and we look back to our past with nostalgia.

I am on the wild side, and dont miss yesterday. Mine were filled with people, that though gone, still keep my soul going. Poetry is a bit cranping for me to express myself well. I have to write chapters. Good heavens, so yes, I have written 1st chapter…i could not believe how easy it was! I am no melancholy wrriter. I think if we want life a special way. Answer..go out and create miracles! I like older music, but I have to stop moaning, right? Lets honor the past but welcome today.PRxx

Good question, Paula! Civility, creativity and positive energy seems to be taking a beating at this time in history. Thank you for inserting this profound reflection into our conscious reflection and into the conversation reminding us of the value and values we teethed on! Blessings. Please keep reminding us of what we could lose. Best wishes for the contest!

I felt a hint of melancholy as I read your poem--not in a negative way...just that feeling that washes over a person when thinking back and wondering 'why?" Nicely done, Paula. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara
