Dear Ida
Your poem truly paints a picture that befits the title so well. Great imagery, complemented by your nice use of verbs frequently to illustrate eg lazing, pondering, beckoning, etc. A very nice read and lovely contest entry! Christine :)

i was drawn to read this after i wrote my poem 'if dylan met ginsburg' -- you might want to read it. yes we waste our days, hoping for better, sometimes actually expecting better while we lounge about 'burning the daylight' while watching as the sun's last rays disappear. well presented and readable. good job.

This is a great free verse on wasted time. It had a real easy flow to it and I did not get lost in what you were trying to say. Great job.

Lovely piece of free verse and totally inspired by the title! Bravo ... I have to admit to floating around the swimming pool today with similar thoughts running thru my head!

There should be a song written to the tune of "Imagination" titled "Procrastination".

"Time flies. You can't. They fly too fast." If that makes no sense to you, read the "flies" in "Time flies" as a noun. The wings on in your illustration triggered my memory of that one.

I like this. It states the problem clearly -- a problem that a lot of us have. "Lazing on my lounger,"
"The moments slip through
Distracted hands."
"Whiling away the hours,
Lost in a daydream,"
All of these expressings tell how the problem happened. It's very good.

I think all of us have been guilty at some point or other in our lives of wasting valuable that could have been spent doing something useful. One reason I don't watch TV(I don't have one, either)so I have plenty of time to write my poetry! Well chosen words and imagery to convey your message. Rather a super picture and good luck in the contest. Faye

Great approach to this song title.
wasted days and wasted nights

wasted time procrastinating
wasted time in vain regretting

though time for contemplating
may be quite edifying

a life spent idly lazing
is life where time is wasting.

:-) Good one!

This is a good poem about procrastination- someone daydreaming.

I like the way you showed emphasis with "Grab hold!"

Good luck with the writing prompt.
