Excellent! You are so right I completely agree! I'm sure Time has quickened, even the young are saying how fast time flies.
I love the artwork it's very fitting for the words!

This poem is oh so true. After a certain age years seem to fly by and you wonder where time has gone.
Nice picture of time melting away.
Keep writing

You've summed up life with this clever dichotomy. You too, obviously remember how everything was out there waiting to be experienced and how time took forever when we were young. Then 21, adulthood and responsibilty, and the downward trend. Life sure went downward quickly. Love the idea and the art work. One spag: flys like..flies like

I have seen the number plate 02B21 around here. Was that you?
This is a common feeling of course - not sure if 21 is the magic number, though. What I do know is it is accelerating like hell now!

Isn't that true, could not wait to be 21, now I would love to be 21 again. Knowing what I know now.lol
Great choice of Cover art the clocks of time ticking.
Your three line verse is succinct and yet profound in both simplicity and message.
I like the "flys like the proverbial bat"
Not thinking of old bat are you.

flys like a bat - flies
good assonance and consonance in flies like
a thoughtful observation about the passage of time and how we perceive it at different stages in our lives

Thank you, Brooke. You caught me before I corrected it, lol. We've been really busy lately, so just trying to get back in the swing of things. I joined several contests the last week or so, and missed every one of them. Again, thank you! :)shawn

this is very well written, moonwillow, you did an excellent job writing this short poem about time flying, but shouldn't it be flies instead of flys.....
