To MoonWillow,
That is what they say. Oh, to be young again but then, in this day and age it would be kind of dubious. As in these end times no one really knows what to expect.

I agree, time seems to fly by. Just yesterday I was 21 and now today I'm 60. What happened? But to be perfectly honest, I like where I'm at today. I enjoyed reading your short and to the point poem.

Wise words my friend! You really capture time and misspent youth well, and I like the last line very much - "flies like the proverbial bat" I really like the set up of this little piece, as you really worked "then" in well and it didn't break the flow.

Yes, so true. When we are young we listen elders telling us how time speeds up as we get older. How ridiculous, we think, until now as we try to warn the younger set. Great job. :-)

Hi MoonWillow
You know, I didn't feel old until I hit 29. Funny, but 30 didn't seem to bother me. Then, 40 popped up. Then 50. I started feeling really old at 60. Now I'm 63. I go to bed sore, and wake up the same way. I can't jog any more... bad hip. So I walk as much as I can. You just can't stop time. And you surely can't turn back the clock. We have to make the best of it. But you are exactly right. The older we get, the faster time flies... like a bat straight out of hell!
Why is that?
Nicely penned! Thanks for sharing.
cheers

A commentary of time from two different
prospectives written in a snippet of thought
that encompasses the swirl of time, yesterday,
today, and the horizons of tomorrow.
Well done

Love the message and agree yes indeed- but with such strong thoughts perhaps you could stretch it into a proper poem. I am sure there are a few more in that brain... Write on- A statement just doesn't feel like a poem. The Haiku form might work but then this is wrong as well because it needs 5-7-5 syllables I think- But write on we all have to start somewhere.

I accept that it is a common cliche, but bats are not particularly fast. Why not eliminate the boring (and incorrect) cliche and make one up that has the potential to became tomorrow's cliche like, Flies like humor from an Haiku?

Watching time slip away with the ease and or agony of any particular moment can be a devastating experience. Living with the horror of regret and frustration is a draining process. That is why life (and time) should be savored. Ah, to be 51 again!!! It's all a matter of perspective I guess.
Till the last amen

You sure are right here! Time truly does fly. In my case,it started when I turned 18 (73 now). I'm grateful though for all the added years. Marriage, family, grandchildren and life in general. Now I have been able to sit, relax and watch all others as they go through life like a proverbial bat. Thanks for the memory! chowchow
