Sonnet 74: Time Poem by David Wood

Beautiful poem. If we could prevents mistakes. So true. Poem with good message. Loved reading it.

Cut out life's mistakes with a stitch to last Such meaningful words you always write. i like your pattern of thinking and too, follow this same thought

Spot on as usual David like Canute trying to stop the tide time never halts for anyone.

Time is a one way street. Beautifully said. Ironically we keep making the same mistakes that we made in the past. We don't learn from history. Then you say better not to know future. Right, knowing it will be a constant source of anxiety and worry. Thank you.

We must be on the same wavelength David - just posted one entitled Time - somewhat different from your super write.

I think sometimes intuition tries to warn us of out actions ramifications on our future. Given that we pay so little attention to the little voice we barrel on regardless and only see after the fact that had we paused, listened to that voice, we could save a lot of heartache. I love your take on 'time' Well done. xx

Another great sonnet sadly we can only learn from mistakes and carry on to the roads end 10/10 BB : O)

Dear David, Excellent poem with a nice message. I like it very much.

We need good sonnet writers, my friend. Nice one. Formalists like ourselves must to stick together in this hurricane (albeit a dwindling hurricane) of free verse. -LP

Starting from a wishful thinking you descend down to reality: 'Better not to know what the future holds'. Life's thrills depend upon thought of future and not knowing what may happen the next moment.
