a fugacious presence is revealed,
having escaped from the eternal
often comes to prove me wrong.

Declined to accept any calls

indeed, the excellent poets do it in seconds
very good do it in minutes; good do it in hours
however, weak poets do it in days or even weeks

Question Words

Why is the sky
Where is where
When do the seconds go
Who turns to how
What is my answer to everything
and please is a question unanswered

Rain - Tanka

shreds of crying clouds
trickle along budding trees,
like shadows of dreams...
words melt away in silence,
as seconds flow with the rain...

Poem

Sixty seconds is all it takes,
Syntax the recipe and the brain bakes,
Cook up a poem, select Poetry mode,
Put pen to paper and churn out an ode.

End

Final fortune overcomes
ironic endings always wrought
never lasting in our findings
individuals eternally untaught
seconds left till our despair

Premium Member March

As the seconds, minutes and hours tic away;
the Month of March, 
marches away

As the times do so they change
the Month of March,
marches away

Find Ease With Nature

I love nature
Just a simple walk
Inside forest
Listen the whisper
Of the trees
Stay there for 15 seconds
Breath deeply
And you will feel relax.

Droplets of Time

A few seconds more 
Youth will set you ablaze with
Fiery beauty store. 

Staring at the red 
Why defer you the mirth till
Gray burnt is the bed?

Premium Member Questionku

Two seconds left

   Field goal will win game

      Will he kick it twixt posts?

Moved On

Seconds moved on
Minutes moved on
Hours moved on
Pain moved
Days moved on
Months moved on 
Heal moved on
Year moved on
Why thee didn't move on?

Rigor Mortis - Tanka

my death is so slow!...
its footsteps mark my seconds,
its breath veils my heart...
behold, with its frozen eyes
has touched the words between us...

The Instant

A few seconds of eternity
   two more than you’ll need

One moment of profundity
   fog gone—vision freed
