Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This thirty-syllable poem, Sands of Time, uses those limited syllables to show how we waste our lives developing the inane and pointless into a life of meaningless drivel.

I like the message of this. We go about our daily activities, toiling and spinning. We waste a lot of time that we can't get back, but, time soldiers on, unaffected. This was a well written and informative poem. Well done.

This short poem says so much to me. I like the truth of your words and your insight. I also like your lovely word choices--silicious sands silently ebb. Nice poetic words. Good entry.

A very well-written thirty syllable poem. While we ponder on unimportant things the time slowly pass us by. Before we know the time is up and we did not do anything worthwhile.

The time we have is precious and limited and we don't give it a thought.This is a clever use of 30 syllables and certainly makes you think.
Great entry for the contest....good luck.

Oh, this is so perfect. The best 30 syllable poem for the contest I read today. Your poem is chiseled to perfection, replete with a beautiful artwork.

I admired these sophisticated lines:

these silicious sands
of time silently ebb
away

I with you luck in the contest, this should make a super contender!

Great message! It's insidious how the moments just slip away while we are engaged in all the electronic forms of distractions. I like how you compare the loss of time in terms of tangible sands that are irretrievable.
