Time

Time is priceless

Time is kind

Time is mean

Time doesn’t belong to you

It doesn’t belong to me

 

Time is too fast

Time is not fast enough

Time controls what you cannot

It’s something we wish we could have

 

Time is not tamed

Time is a wild and wild spirit

Time is rigid and fragile

It needs to be treated well

 

Time has it's own question

The question we all ask

“How much do we have?”

The answer, my friends, is “Not a lot”

 

Time is like money

Time is fictional

But the value is very much real

Spend it well

 

There needs to be more

There needs to be less

Be careful what you wish for

Because what you wish is what you get

Amazing line of thought. Time is a subject which has a lot of aspects to it and you have touched upon almost all of them. There's more of it and there's less of it. But never "enough". Well penned.

You've touched on so many elements of time and all true. Last line is tricky for me. Lots of times we don't always get what we wish for and that's not always bad. In fact its a blessing. Nonetheless, this is still a great poem with all the principles of time consolidated into a neat write. Good job.

If ever a poem were to be heeded! Very nice.

Time is the most valuable possession we have. Better to use it wisely and try to do the right things.

A lot of good logic in this poem. Few learn till it too late. Spend time with family and try to have some fun. Death can come quick. A excellent poem. Thank you.

This wasn't really my cup of tea but technically speaking it was on point. Well done.
