That's real talk! Many teenagers always like to rush their lives along...thinking that they are missing something in adulthood. Nevertheless, when the clock becomes the enemy we start to wish that we can turn back the hands of time. Nicely put.

Yep, true. That's how it feels. We all know that. I adore the picture you have linked with poem. Your heading gives the longing and takes the poem round in a circle. If only we could keep going round and back and do it again. Longing and humorous too, very well done.

What a true statement you have made in great poetic form.
And when sixty hits you.. it is more like flying into the sound barrier.. the sonic boom.. life passes so quickly..
Well done, Carolyn

Very eloquent, snappy snippet.
Anyone over 25 can relate to this. I know I can.

I especially liked the artwork of the Daliesque timepieces. Perfect. Showcases the distortion of time.

Overall - it is an obviously well thought out piece in all areas.

Well done.

Each decade it seems to pick up speed. Great poem that holds true for every one. Nice picture with the clocks and watches. Very clever theme. Great emotional flow. Nicely done.

How very true. I think most of us (over the age of 21) would agree!

You have managed to relay your message succinctly, yet successfully.

The photo you have chosen further illustrates your theme.

Nicely done.

...And if I was still 21, it would be flying like a blind bat bouncing off cavern walls. I am glad I am not 21. 29 would be nice. But you are right. Past that point there is no time.

The picture is striking, like that of Salvador Dali. I thought of "bat out of hell," when I read your last line. But, then how even after 21 our thoughts might still be upside and we might not see too well. --Elaine
