Time outruns those who don't sprint To keep up. It never turns back Or bothers to wait for idle souls Why carry coals to Newcastle? Time misspent is time gone forever Easy come and easy go Time is too busy to wallow in The stillness of now. Indeed, it does Flee like a long-distance runner With an engine that keeps on Humming and chugging, it keeps on Steadily; time never crawls, it sprints CONTEST NO 218 any form-any theme with max of 12 lines Poetry Contest Winner(8th Place) Sponsored by: Brian Strand Date written: 10/03/2013 Date posted: 03/29/2016
