Question: How about a three minute poem on the necessity of seizing the day!?
Dear friend, this path is only trod but once
So please, enjoy the pilgrimage you make;
Your journey's but the twinkling of an eye,
A too-soon-vanished speck in Time's vast wake!.
So just hold on and take a joyous ride
For soon enough dark fate will find and shake
You to the very root of who you are
And hand you more than ever you would take!.
So just let go of fear and seize the day,
Lift from your heart all burden, all dismay,
Right now friend is your moment in the sun
So make the most of it and when you're done
Say, "Yes, I had a life and it was good,
Not perfect, but I did all that I could,
And now I'll gladly leave without regret!."
Some day, you'll know the peace that I have met!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm afraid my responses to poems like this are a bit repetitive, but when something is as well-written and thought-provoking as this one and so obviously written by a master of the craft, what else can I say!?

Excellent!. Well done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think what AC Tesla is trying to say is that he is embarrassed that you can do more in three minutes than he has done in three years!. It's not a bad poem, but I would work on it and resubmit it!. Your detractor is obviously a jealous fool who delights in embarrassing himself in public!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Angel

Heavens heart divine, your
wings surround imagination!.
Beauty the eternal flame,
a messenger of creation!.


Your Kingdom come,
lead me from wrong!.

You know you are my angel

Temptions and sin
no longer within!.

You know you are my angel


In my dreams and visions
when heavens voice protects!.
A guardian of the truth
The light of love reflects!.

Your Kingdom come,
lead me from wrong!.

You know you are my angel

Temptions and sin
no longer within!.

I Think this is quite impacting!. It made me stop and think!. It reminded me a little of the song [ "I wish I was 18 again!." ] by George Burns!.
A Bit before your time I dare say, but very similar messages word wise!. Thank you, for sharing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Goodness what horrid swelling of the head!. To think that you are writing anything new or important you must have missed the last five thousand years of human existence (topically, that is)!. Artistically, the poem is entirely meritless, betraying no lack of grandiose ignorance and stunted imagination!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
