Very good reading flow and rhymes.
"the peril known, yet you must ride the wave." Indeed, time's effects cannot be escaped--especially its final act to our lives.
Excelent, excellent personification of time poem--brilliantly expressed!

Comment from Janet Foor
Wonderful analogies of time and what we do with it and ultimately, time waits for no one so we should choose wisely what we do with it.
I enjoyed the read and am happy you and your family are enjoying Disney.
Blessings

Comment from Debra White
Hello Jessica,
I really enjoyed reading your poem.
The structure is a sound 6-6-10-6-6-10 aabccb and in perfect meter, which is so complimentary to your theme of time.
I think that you explore your theme, observing the quirks of how time passes in different ways, the certainty, yet uncertainty of it and how it affects our destiny, depending on how we spend it and the choices we make, so beautifully. The personification is wonderful and the blurred artwork works well.
Thank you for captivating me for a few moments - time well spent ;)
Best wishes, Debra
ps: Enjoy the rest of your holiday at Disney World :)

Comment from Mark Jackson
I was reading this without reading the explanation and I came to Death. Which is not far off, if you look at a picture of Father Time and Death you will be hard pushed to pick them apart. I think that is a testament to your skill as a writer. Great work.

Comment from royowen
I would prefer names on 'voices' it tends to de-personify them, like indeterminate entities that can deceive, 'And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.' 2 Corinthians 11:14. I can remember I had an accompanying voice long before understood who Christ was and the work of the cross. But the voice turned up when I was in danger, and once, quite literally saved my life. Looking back, 'it' was a benevolent, kindly entity.
Just an observation of your work Jessica. Well done, blessings Roy
Suggestion : I grant(,which) cannot last

The hands of time don't stop for anyone - not even Mickey and Minnie! Enjoy your vacation. Your hands will catch up with the poetry when you get back. Great entry.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Hands of Mine, presented with four distinctly rhymed and metered sestets, personifies time and shares the truth of its path through our lives. Time waits for no one.

Comment from Jim Wile
A beautiful poem about relentless, implacable time, and no matter how we perceive it, it just does what it does. We may perceive it to move swiftly or slowly according to our circumstances, and it may seem like a friend or an enemy at times, but those are our perceptions which don't reflect time's true nature; it just travels at one speed, and it's up to us not to waste it by willing it to last longer or wishing it to slow down, but to make the most of what we are naturally granted.
I loved your very consistent iambic 3-3-5 beat pattern and your aabccb rhyming pattern. Both make for a beautiful-sounding poem, Jess. Very well done. - Jim
