Time

The butterfly effect.

Today, influenced by yesterday

Tomorrow, influenced by today

Every day, a reflection of our past

Every hour, following the last.

 

Time passes quickly

But we don't fail to seek

Those cheap thrills

That will cost us next week.

Author's Note

First poem I ever wrote. Yet it'll always be one of my favorites. No idea why. Do you?

First poem... Wow, the first one I wrote was blithering nonsense. And right on in the last two lines.. Menaingful, yes...

[Suzy Q]

It just kind of hit me because I needed it for a project. And I think from then on I knew that I wanted to write.

we dont really have to understand it, our first anything is always new and special to us.. and this has some good thoughts behind it.. great job.

oh look, a good poem. what a shame everyone has already lavished love upon it and i am not able to think of anything new to say.

[Jazique]

That was nice and deep and truly a poem with rhymes involved. You did an excellent for a first poem ever written for yourself. Its short and simple and sweet explaining the times of today and yesterday but, yet letting us know to never abuse those thrills to the fullest that it would ever cost us next week. So anyways excellent poem and keep up the wonderful job. Showing time is in our hand.

This is beautifully written, and gives a clear truth in each line. Goodness, it's your first poem?? With this, I'm sure you'll go far. :)

This is good, especially for a first poem :) The words ring true.
I really did like it

[Sukriti Suki]

As you read this you can't help but agree with every single line. A lot of truth in a few lines. Nice write.

My earliest stories are some of my favorites, too, although their awfulness makes me laugh. :) Nice reflections.

Oh wow that is all to true! To often we act first and think later when we have to pay the consequences. I'm having a hard time believing this is your first poem:) It's absolutely amazing!:)
