5375 Pensacola Sands 05 May 2006 Gone but not forgotten returned in kind Days left over dried pasta upon a dirty plate Another day, a weak gone bye where was sweet, that love to hold Thoughts and diversions the tide having gone out Heaven, was that for death tranquillity yours to share A heart made distant to living words exchanged upon the wind Again, forever, nothing lost her beauty was divinity Perhaps there was love to remind oneself life was alive An hourglass, also known as a sandglass or sand timer, is a device for the measurement of time. It consists of two glass bulbs placed one above the other which are connected by a narrow tube. One of the bulbs is usually filled with fine sand, and when turned upright, flows through the narrow tube into the bottom bulb at a given rate. Once all the sand has run to the bottom bulb, the device is inverted in order to measure another time period. Factors affecting the amount of time that the hourglass measures include: the volume of sand, the size and angle of the bulbs, the width of the neck, and the type and quality of the sand. Some times seen as only ornamentally, since the advent of a clock or watch, in relation accuracy and when an approximate measurement of time is needed (for example in cooking in a time period of only a few minutes , like cooking eggs, where a three minute timer is typical).

I wrote that one in 3 minutes using a line from a certain someones poem in another forum thread on this site but when I had composed that works another poem came to my mind, an instant after that in truth I was not going to put this one up on pip, and it was your kind words Ethel that changed my mind. So now I am going to share my bonus poem in another thread Thanks for dropping by even if I have never been to Florida but in my mind and maybe viewing maps a poet who cares |

some will not understand yet, in ways of my writing and the control I have over thoughts, or lack of control in more truth. To feel obligated at times to write, yet find it may be less of a burden to never write, or share such thoughts of poetry on this site, or in any other place. maybe it would be much easier to shear sheep and not my words and feelings so openly with and for others. if my comments are seen as being rude, I think of them as being honest, if I have an do offend any one, please let me know, so I can make adjustments to my ways or give up this site if that is what it takes to be understood a poet who cares |
