Re: hands of time

Hey Peter, I like this poem! The message comes through clearly, the form and style fits the topic, the only thing I would improve on is the rhythm. The flow feels a bit 'bumpy' in some places, especially around the third stanza. I'd even risk a tight syllable count and meter. It would really give an extra boost to the message. Tick-tock!

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
