You have made effective use of every syllable in your one-liner
about time. We are so preoccupied with time--knowing exactly
what time it is all the time--yet we lose track of it and often misuse
it!

Yes, time takes time to learn new tricks and skills.
Your selected illustration and short verse are definitely in sync. Glad your interesting timepiece is run on solar energy not worn out batteries ... LOL
Good luck in this contest!

Hello Author, I like this Monostich poem you have written. Time... it is quite the concept isn't it? If it were up to me, we'd have day, and we'd have night. The seasons can be kept, they're fairly relative... but all of this exact time stuff... down to the second... I mean, what does it really mean? What does it really matter for... unless you have something in the oven? You wake up, you work all day, you go home, have dinner, do whatever for a couple of hours and go to bed until you wake up and do it all again. They did it before clocks... why do we need them so badly now I ask you??? :)

A very well-written Monostich poem about the essence of time, although, we all use time in our lives we do not understand where it is coming from or where it may go.

Sorry no sixers left. If anything was truer I don't know. Everyone can tell time. Most know it can be cut up into units. It is also a measurement when long distances are involved. But what actually is it?

You have pointed out in your poem how hard it is to really understand time. It is an abstract concept but people try to pin it down to measurable segments of seconds, minutes, hours.... but then when we measure time in light years we can see how our minds have to bend to get our heads around it. God does things in his own time, I always run out of time, it's time we all got along, it's time I went to bed... everything is personal and general so how can we truly understand time?

This was a good write. Though it was only one line, it was very effective in expressing a thought and philosophical moment. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

Your title and poem make it very clear that most of us only THINK we understand time. Try to explain time--i.e.--history to a five-year-old who has no concept of "centuries, " much less B.C. and A.D.
