They say time stops at the event horizon of a Black Hole, but they won't say who went there and found this out. Catchy lines. Excellent post.

Sort of an avant gArde abstract poem compared to most of my posts...but then time is such a bizarre manmade concept my mind went tumbling!
Thanks,
Karenina
Comment from Joy Graham
Hi Karenina,
This is a poem with many deep layers. The world can change us and take stuff away from us, but at the end of the day we are still us. This is a positive message that speaks to me today. I appreciate you!

Yes....it is multi layered and complex and a far departure from my usual poems....this is what comes from reading about the illusion of time!
Thanks,

Comment from Winslow
Dear Karenina,
Another wonderful poem. For what is inside indeed is who we really are and even though time ravages the exterior inside nothing really changes. You are an excellent poet.
Warm regards,
Winslow

I am a slowly improving poet who relishes the opportunity to learn from such as you!

Appreciate that as it is less traditional and more abstract than my usual....

Comment from Kingsrookviii
I love this! This is meaningful and well written. You have a great control of rhyme presentation of this poem. I automatically thought of the old Chicago song, 'Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is' from, I think, their Transit Authority days; I know it was an early, Terry Kath song. Anyway, great job with this one. Well done. Bruce.

I saw them in concert and always loved that song...I appreciate your comments, because my poems are generally more traditional and I really felt the need to stretch myself on this one!
Thank you!

Time changes, we change, yet time lacks the power to define us....it is abstract and yet somehow the muse insisted! Thank you!

Comment from Elizabeth Brown
I like this very much; I like the 'tick tock' rhythm of the poem which I think is very clever. The subtle message telling us that whatever we look like or whatever we do does not change what we are inside is very thought provoking.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written thought-provoking poem. We are what we are within our hearts not what the face and body tell others. Our personality shines from within the shell we keep it hidden from others.

I was so afraid I went outside my comfort level e l and m at have been too abstract ... your review is like an affirmation that it's alright to spread my wings and fly!

Comment from tfawcus
The repetition gives this something of a metronomic quality. I like the idea that the passage of time does not define us. Forget the way the hours keep passing and just keep ticking along anyway.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is an unusual write and sort of looking at life from a left field, and I liked your approach. We are certainly stuck in the time warp which never stops turning, we cannot see the hands of the clock turning but we are up against its speed! Love Dolly x

It is a different approach for me....but time is so complex...and while a man made concept which holds such a grip on us....we cannot see it or hold it...
Thanks for getting me!
