I was going to give you a six star but I don't know why the option is gone when I still have 6 stars to give...:(. Anyway..another beautiful poem..you are so right, why even think about tomorrow and waste the very hour God has given us..thanks a lot..I have been worrying about the future too much lately..glad I found this poem. God bless, Brooke!

Thank you, Fransiska. The option is gone because you're only allowed to give me two 6's within 30 days. You'll get them back for me when a little time passes. I hate that rule!! LOL You are most kind. Please stop worrying about the future, my lovely young friend. Brooke :-)
Comment from Nicnac
Live for each moment - rather than worrying about how many moments have passed (or been wasted)or how many you may/may not have in the future. That's not to say that you shouldn't think of the future, but don't let those thoughts rob you of the beauty of the present. Wow - I'm rambling... I tend to do that when it gets late and I'm tired. haha
With all that said... (LOLOLOL) I love this poem. Worrying about what's to come, aging, etc... keeps us from enjoying life to the fullest.
There I go rambling again. ;) I promise, I'll try to write my next review of your work after I'm well rested.
Short and sweet (finally) - I enjoyed your poem, Brooke. It's well written, AS ALWAYS. :)

Comment from mstad55
You caught me with the clock face and hands. I have a small collection of clocks, a coo coo and a castle clock, both German made. I have about 12 watches in addition to my clocks. I would have more, but money is always a factor. I've stopped buying junk, although I found a really neat watch on Ebay that is see through for only $1.00. I like all the gears. It is also self winding. So, there you have it. Next time before the clock runs down I'll try to review your poem. Mike

Mike, glad you like the picture and clocks! LOL I'll assume you also like the poem and thank you for it :-) LOLOLOL Brooke :-)

Yeah, you got me on that one. I liked it. It was very clever, the passage of time and the clock, and watching it instead of living without notice of the passing of time. Excellent as always. Mike

Brooke, you've written a most beautiful Triolet.
The message is clear, be thankful for the time
granted to us. I do have one tiny suggestion for you to
consider:
f[F]ear not swift passage of the years
Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. It was a delight to read. -ray

Thank you, Amicus, for a wonderfully poetic response - glad you liked the triolet :-) Brooke
Comment from --Turtle.
This is one of those triolots that blends so well, meaning for me the connection of the reoccuring lines is so smooth that you forget its a repeating line. The topic is very powerful, as the clock ticks for everyone, so identifying is easy. I really liked this.

Thank you, Turtle - that is always the challenge of the triolet, which makes it way harder to write than many people assume, those who think it's an easy way to use up lines! LOL I appreciate your wonderful comments :-) Brooke
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Very smoothly flowing poem that shares words of wisdom with us. Our time is quite different thatn God's time. I often get hung up on that. If I would only do better waiting on God, then life would flow as nicely as your poem.

Ah, Brooke, this is a powerful message we would all do well to heed and it works so beautifully with the triolet form. You are so incredibly talented. No-one else could have done this. It has 'Brooke' written all over it!
It surely lifted my spirits.

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Brooke ....
There is such a special message in this well-written work in Triolet format. Fear not the passage of time - fear not what lies ahead in the future - because, right now, God has given us the gift of life to bring us to this hour.
I enjoyed reading this. There is nothing to suggest changing and I thank you for sharing it with us.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.
