Time

Remorseless time, that makes all foul things clean,
Fade my misdeeds beneath the silt of years
Disperse with zephyrs what was rank and mean,
And let warm sunshine dry the victims tears.

Infinite time, that will complete each dream
Fulfill the promise of a growing mind
Beckon ambition with a hopeful gleam
And to youth's fancies, be benign and kind.
Wizard needs whiskey, badly!

Nice one, I.B. For some reason, it brought forth the tune to Sting's "Fragile"

The circle
Slowly woven orb
Around one
And inside another
Electrons
Moons
Galaxian cluster

I like that.

What's it mean?

I hope it's not dirty.

The cyclical nature of time and it's relationship with physical scale.

Leaves of yellow, red and gold
Falling on my head.
They don't hurt.

Steve Mack, sensei of warped haiku.
Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light get's in.

Bloomfield does or does not. One doesn't "allow" Bloomfield.
Bloomfield asserts his own radical freedom. And, in so doing, confronts the awesome terror of complete liberty.

Unworthy? Unworthy, madam? I'll have you know that some of us spent upwards of 15 minutes of unremunerated toil, our very life's blood oozing from our pores onto the keyboard, to produce those bits of "unworthy" doggerel. Some of us even went to the trouble to find out how to spell "Hiawatha" and to figure out hom many b's are in "throbbing," and yet you casually dismiss this herculean wordsmithing as "unworthy." Fie, I say, fie on't, and a pox on you and your flooring.
Sorry Gonzo, but I can't accept the pox. Perhaps you can rewrap it and use it as a wedding gift. Notice my phrasing. I didn't say they were unworthy. Mine, in fact, took me 16 minutes, doggerel or not. :wink:
Doggerel? Lovely! The best I can usually do is drivel :sniffle:
Happily tooting when my dogs let me.

I think that response should get a prize just because.

Oh I know. It's almost like the astronaut severing the flimsy tether that secures him to the shuttle. "Goodbye HAL. Goodbye Houston. Goodbye Worf. I'm outa here."

Get the right version...
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

Oh, no. It's not like that at all.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day
