Oh what laughs,
what fish hook gaffs,
what bubbled amber glass,
what time to think
what time to drink,
my god
what time to pass.

A cameo,
a boat to row,
canoes I once drowned in,
they're paddled
addled,
broken
sunk,
and left and wrapped in tin.

Great stills! I can't imagine having that kind of time to enjoy anymore...what am I doing wrong? haha But what great memories. You could set these lines to the tune of Dylan's Gates of Eden. But you'd have to write 12 more verses or so. :-)

Goodness sakes, how do you manage to speak
such hard truths with your tongue in cheek?

One more round of applause for you!!!

Enchantress ~ I am glad you enjoy it.  Thank you for telling me.

Martie ~ Hi my dear friend, thank you for reading my poem.

Kahlil ~ Time is only linear in theory; in reality, it expands and compresses.  It is an old druid trick: if every second is a minute and every minute is an hour, every flower lives its season in a single afternoon. *smile*

vlraynes ~ *smile* Thank you for taking time to tel me.

Kaoru ~ Thank you for reading my poem and for taking time to comment.  I am glad you liked it.

BluesSerenade ~ Oh, it's easy!  Really.  I had my jaw broken when I was young and there is a little gap for my tongue. *grin*

passing shadows ~ *smile* There are times when I think your work is going to make me weep blood; now THAT is awesome! Most times, I can not get any closer to some of those feelings than to read them in your writing.   Thank you for reading my poem and for taking time to comment.
