What Is Time?
December 21, 2014
Time
Time is never--
Time is always--
Time never waits,
Time never stills,
Time is one of those factors,
You'll never ponder,
Yet always consider.
Always remember the past,
Or worrying about the future,
When right now,
You could be joyful in the present.
Time

Great piece! This is actually something I find myself thinking about quite a lot. You did a superb job turning thoughts and ideas into a poem. Loved it!
I love how you've repeated the word time, and the thought behind this is really intriguing. Like the others, I do think it would have benefitted from a few extra lines. I especially love your last line where you end with just the word time, which also completes your sentence. Well done! :)

The repetitiveness of the word, "time", really emphasizes its power over us. The description of time itself is a factor that can't be controlled, but rather has control over us. The philosophy here is great, the only advice I'd say is to make it longer. Content is better than length, but this poem would have a great effect if you elaborated more on the details of time and its effects. Other than that, this was a great poem! I especially love how you gave advice on how to enjoy time in the end and left it with the word, "Time", as if Time itself had written the poem.
I truly do enjoy and have a passion for philosophy, therefore, when I wrote this, I was thinking about the question, "What is time?" So I answered that question with this short little poem.
