Time, a sprinting steed,
is sometimes a brooding sage
Swift and slow in turn!
Wonderful contrasts - I certainly prefer those moments time is brooding to the charging horse. The horse is too close to Marvell's dismaying metaphor - AND AT MY BACK I ALWAYS HEAR TIME'S WINGED CHARIOT HURRYING NEAR. But we better give that sage some comic literature so he is not always brooding. I have an extra copy of Sterne's TRISTRAM SHANDY which is guaranteed to make the sage smile.
Contrast simply phenomenal and this is the truth of mysterious time.........Valsa......very well composed
Swift in move and slow in turn that is how it is - time. Nice lines. Thank you.
Yes, time stretches and contracts as well, the most flexible, that science calls relative, a lovely haiku that highlights these facts.
Time, a sprinting steed, is sometimes a brooding sage Swift and slow in turn! ...fine haiku
Time is fleeting but so precious! You have exquisitely penned this Haiku of 17 syllables! You experiment is a great success.....10

indeed, time's passage is so often colored by our perception.
