The Times

The Times

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

 

The new times

 The old times repeating

The good times

The moments are fleeting

The bad times

The battles we’re beating

The true times

The friends we are meeting

" Carpe tiempo"...

Such truth, told with such simplicity!
Outstanding.
I really liked the concept of time throughout the poem - our time is short and diverse just like the poem.
Keep up the good work.

time... time... it's all about the time- time that we have, that we use and that we waste. time makes things happen and vanishes them... wonderful subtle lines that go under my skin. you have a very, very unique style.
thx for sharing.

You have the gift of expressing HUGE concepts in few words. Very difficult- Well chosen words- you paint a full portrait in the style of the minimalist- me? I am more verbose-I'll take a stroll around the whole damn barn before I get to the Water that has always been in the FRONT of the barn...lol see what I mean? good writing-

You truly have a unique style and I love it. Very different from what I have read and that is the beauty of the many varieties of writers on the cafe. New times, bad times, good times, and true times....
