This is a good entry for the Naani Poem writing prompt competition. Good photo to illustrate this poem of regretting not doing the things on your bucket list before it's too late and your time has ended. A close call can make you realize you need to live each day to the fullest. Nicely done!

Excellent use of words and naani form that captures how life can be gone in an instant. I like the mention of the classics and the ukulele, creative and unique use of words. Best wishes for the contest.

Your poem hit me with its raw emotion. The finality in "Time ran out" is so striking. It captures the feeling of lost opportunities. I thought this was beautifully done. You say so much in your poem.

There are so many "what ifs" and "if onlys" when life-changing things happen to us and we stop--actually stop our busy lives--and think, "We never know when there won't be a tomorrow." This is very well written. Thanks for sharing.

Very thoughtful. It's true, we can only hope that time doesn't run out before we accomplish the things we want to do. Sometimes time runs out - not death - but we wait too long and age won't allow us to do it. I let my daughter learn to play the violin in school, but in my 70's I tried to play it, but back problems and neuropathy in my hands made it impossible for me to learn it. I'll play it in another life. Your poem was great!
