Time

A Poem by lauren emily

Time is like a fan

It spins and spins and spins

You can slow it down with your mind

Or you can sit and stare

and watch it fly by without even trying to stop it.

I have no idea what exactly I was doing with this. But I got to thinking, time is like a fan. You can slow it down with your mind, or watch it fly by without even trying to do anything about it.
Please ignore grammar.

OMG. It's brilliant. It absolutely true. I love it so much, the way you wrote it comparing it with time.
It makes you think twice. I'm definitely going to add it to my favorites.
I think you really talented. I don't know anyone who can write that simple yet so complicated poem.
I really like it cause it's so different, unique and I would have never thought of that. It awesome, seriously.

Interesting metaphor... I like it.
Yes, we can slow it down -- by enjoying each moment.
Living in the now --

Or we can stress over tomorrow and watch it fly --
accepting things as they are.

This is quite clever actually.
Great job!! :)

I love intelligent similes and metaphors. Very nicely and smoothly done. And very interesting.
Love the insightful approach to such a complicated concept; time!
Well done. Thanks for sharing :)

Philosophical. Writing like this is artistic, many may shut you down for it, pay them no attention, it is because they can not relate, they don't understand. I however love artistic analogy's I write them a lot & as I have warned they are often criticized quite harshly. Be brave. Bravo.
