Slow. Poem by SY Wong ...

Slow.



What is slow?
What is slowness?

A snail
An ant
A sloth

Life is slow
I like slowness
As long as there's flow
The night is slow
I am slow but diligent
And never late
Being slow is not a sin.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Hans Vr 22 December 2018

I like this poem. It overthrows some fixed in our minds that fast is good and slow is bad. Everything is relative. I can certainly enjoy the slow ride in the car, much more than we are in a hurry. Doing things slowly, can allow us to enjoy them much more. Reading a book slowly for example and digesting all ideas at our own pace... Excellent idea expressed in these well written verses
