This poem made me smile as I sometimes sit and watch the world go by myself. The world turns and, with each turn, it changes. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a good weekend.

Dear poet,
I really enjoyed your message and agree with the philosophy.
You seem to have invented a new style of poetry which is delightful. You have some great rhymes while being more conversational in nature.
Let's all hope because we have 2 choices and 2 choices only...
Repeat or evolve
Best wishes in the contest

Comment from Donna G. (aka Sam Duck)
This is very much a transience poem! Great entry for the contest. I felt myself drawn in and experiencing the ups and downs you describe. You use very descriptive language and have some fun plays on words. Best of luck in the contest, and good job!

Comment from John Ciarmello
So many changes in the world; flux is a clever little guy that sneaks through time and pulls it out from under us. After we get up and brush ourselves off, thirty years later, we stand alone with our little friend flux, wondering what happened. Great poem! I like the form.

John, thanks!

Very nice. Change, I believe, is inevitable. As each second passes it becomes a part of the unit that comprises a minute, each minute an hour, each hour a day, each day a week, and so on, and so on. Although similar, each must be different because what happened at any given time may not ever happen again. Which obviously makes that event much different from what happened before or after.

An excellent poem, Jim. I enjoyed the flow and illustrative phrases you incorporated. The imagery is lovely and flows along throughout the poem making it a cohesive piece of beauty. Well done.

This is a thought provoking poem in which you have cleverly caught the essense of the Ubi sunt 'philosophy'. I enjoyed it immensely. Good luck in the contest.

Katherine, what a nice review, thanks much! I hope you are enjoying Jims class as much as I am! See you Saturday.

Your ubi sunt poem does address the assigned topic in a very emotional manner, for your questions concern drastic changes and their reasons--all leading to the end of life as we know it.

-Nice artwork and presentation.
-I enjoyed reading your poem;
you did a good job with the form.
-I can relate to the sentiments you express, too,
-Everything does seem to be changing,
especially in our neighborhoods. I
think two years of isolation and Covid
have really changed attitudes and a
sense of togetherness.
-I also like all of the pronouns you use,
showing another aspect of this "new society" we are in.
-A good concluding verse, as well.
-Good luck in the contest!!
