Time is many things and it is difficult to explain how it works

[Einstein Noodle]

I'll admit this style was more of a drive-by attempt. I may study it on the next Blue Moon :)

You're welcome.

I've embraced time knowing the inevitable is there always. No escape so why not play with the path. Nice work.

[Cherrie Palmer]

It's true death will find us all, no way around it.

i love and hate time at the same time for the way it is. good stuff to read here.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, it seems at work time is the measure but at home I slow down and just let life happen.

[Wórdsmíth]

Usually, i try to make it the way you do but i have never been this guy doing work at time; going to bed on time; wake up.. bathing.. eating and doing to-do things - Never at time. and it makes life a bit harder (which most people realize later with time like me).

So true, This is so good and well said

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) good morning and thank you. Sorry I missed your review. Just found it this morning. Hope you have a good day.

I agree. With old age. I learn. Time is our more valuable item we have. Wonderful use of words dear Cherrie.

I admire a person who works and works at a new form of poetry... but then, applaud loudly when they ~ she, succeeds so brilliantly.. and, you have. You;'ve used single words that beckon the mind to see what you meant to example.. and yet, you''ve created poetry.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Ya know Emma, I try to avoid formats that make me work (terrible I know). I like to shoot from the hip. :)

[emmajoy]

Cherrie, you're a very good shot!

[alanwgraham]

You've caught these moments well Cherrie. Using few words forces you to make them count. I'll need to brush up on these poetic forms and try a few. Heads or tails is what life often comes down to.
Hope you are well.
All the best.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Alan.
I enjoyed making this one, at first I wasn't happy with it, but, it's growing on me. I'm ready to try another one. I can't wait to see yours.

Life is precious...but how it will go for us is a coin toss.
You did this form so well...second and third lines nicely reflect each other...
almost like a poetic synonym...
I tossed my coin, but I just can't look...
maybe you could tell me which way it came up?
