ticking on
ticking out
out as gone
out of reach
reach before
reach now
now is all
now wants you
you are here
you must act
act towards
act with love
love is all
love to draw
draw it in
draw while time
time goes
time takes
takes past
takes future
future ahead
future unsure
unsure outcomes
unsure links
links to love
links to feeling
feeling free
feeling chained
chained to past
chained to tomorrow
tomorrow too far
tomorrow not now
now again
now enjoy
enjoy life
enjoy give
give receive
give again
again and again
again liberates
liberates guilt
liberates past
past anchors
past regrets
regrets drain
regrets must fade
fade away
fade to make way
way
away

Poetry Prompts:
Free write about how you feel about time. Do you have clocks in every room? Do you find your time valuable or do you give it away to everyone else but yourself?
Word Prompts:
Measure
running out
overwhelm
slowly
fast
wasting
giving away
me time
Suggested Poetry Type: Let’s go for the Blitz for this poem, it has that, “time is running out” feel.
