Time's poetry

life in its length and width, a temporal existence
It is Nature’s poetry in time and space.
Each memoir with its own rhyme and reason.
In essence minutes are the syllables,
Hours are words of a life span.
Days and nights, the lines of the verses,
Weeks fittingly fall like stanzas, an octave, a sestet,
a quintet, some times it even feels like tercet.
A monostich, is a dream of minimalist!

The length of a month seems like a sonnet,
Some among the twelve stand out like ballads,
Others flow like free verse.
A few filled with repetitive emotions, villanelle they remind.
None as short as Haiku.
every dark date on the calendar sings a monody.
Getting past the pain of permanent loss
pulls mighty strength of a soul.
Clerihew like periods ease the blues of many a Monday
Some months are greeted with anticipation for they hold
joy of celebration, an ode!
Getting through a Year is nothing less than living an epic.

You described time and its similarities to poetry in a great way. Days can be short or long depending on what we read into them.

i love this...you work the idea well ...it sings as i read ..with a very natural flow ... the idea that your title should be Time's Poetry kept popping into me noodle ;) you touch so many wonderful aspects of poetry ..some of its tools and blend it with a really peaceful take on life in general ... with dabs of color and music ... wouldn't change a thing ... except maybe the title ... ;) so glad i stopped to visit
