Oh! Days to be long as centuries,
Of time there is never enough.
To present perfect polished poems,
Simply to smooth over the rough.
Oh! With centuries to play with,
I will eternally be defeated.
For time waits for no man,
Leaving so much uncompleted.
Absolutely true. Another excellent write, Shaun. Very insightful. Yes, time has its own course. We are swept by its powerful hands. Beautifully written. Onto my Poem List.
Thank you Rose Marie for your kind comments and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care.

How right you are Shaun! Time is a constant source of frustration for us poets I think. Nevertheless, this lockdown period has provided a fantastic opportunity for those of us who have been prepared to ' seize the day' so to speak. Anyway, this time it's a 'Dead Poets Society' inspired 10 from me!
Carpe diem is absolutely right Dominic and you have a good choice in movies. Thank you for your kind comment and take care.
