Poem Artwork

lying on the grass eyes on the sky
thinking october is just around the
bend has summer really come to an
end, how fast seasons go by

time seems to run by, as if in a race
what would a few minutes loss, cause
different time zones make me pause
to wonder if time can change its pace

if we lost an hour, how would we know
where is the first place it would show
if all clocks and timekeepers were to stop
do we have some kind of keeper, a time cop

is the idea far fetched, I want to know
if there is the possibility of lost time
if different zones each lost a few minutes
how would it be discovered,and by whom

Would there be catastrophic events
if DST lost 5 minutes and Pacific time
lost 15 minutes,how would it effect us
i'm counting on someone to know the answers

methinks the ED Brothers each in different
time zones should know! Please?;-) i/m just a
dumb blond heehee(don't tell,i'm a brunette;)
don't make me wait too long,i might turn gray

etw having fun;-)

always the one with a tough question -- my opinion is that time is nothing more than man's creation as a mark or register to schedule and monitor events -- without the interpretation of man's little mind -- time is useless and does not in fact exist -- it is a metric we created for our use -- may their be peace in your valley -- JMW

Cute piece Eileen, filled with such realistic imagination. Would anyone even notice if a few minutes here and there were missing? I do believe that we currently lose time with the current clock and that seems to go unnoticed. I am told it is the reason for leap year....

Be always safe,
Karen

Father Time (known as Pakiž in some countries) is a personification of time. He is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe, carrying an hourglass or other timekeeping device (representing time's constant movement). This image derives from many sources, including the Grim Reaper and Chronos, the Greek god of time.

A good thought-provoking poem, Eileen! You have raised some very interesting questions and points.

You make me think of the movie "The Langoliers" - by Stephen King. The story was just about that - time lost. In this movie, several people were unfortunately left behind several minutes in the past, and didn't make it to the present. They were looking for clues as to their whereabouts and wondered why they could hear noises and yet there were no people around them.

At the end of the movie, you could see that time was a monster, keeps chomping away the lands of the past, everything that supposed to be the past got chomped away and disappeared.

Not the past, not the future, but only the present should these people survive, and they have to find their ways back into the present to avoid being chomped away by the time monster. That was a very intriguing story. Stephen King can really think of all kinds of things to write.

Sandie Angel :o)

What strikes me here, E T, is not the conventional subject matter which is good in itself but the wonderful flow and blend of the lines, it's really one unbroken line, a stream of consciousness and fluent expression. Well done!
