3 Words In A Poem writing prompt entry

*

Time is an animal, swift in its flight,
Fleeing the day and escaping the night.

A horror lingers yet slips through our hands,
Shifting like shadows on sun-faded sands.

Moments seem endless, then vanish so fast,
A future once distant fades into the past.

Short is the season of youth’s fleeting grace,
Time leaves its mark on each line of our faces.

Yet in its passing, we learn, and we grow,
For time is the river, and we’re the flow.



Writing Prompt
