Comment from Teri7

Exceptional

Craig, This is a very well written 3 Line poem you have penned for the contest. You used very good words that make so much sense. Today is all we have. We have already lived the past, the future is not yet come and the present is this moment that God has given us. This would make a very nice romantic poem with the great imagery you shared. Best wishes in the contest my friend! blessings, Teri

Excellent

Good aphoristic simplicity with a timeless message (pun intended). This is mildly cliche, but in a good way--and the closing line is perfect, as it adds the dimension of togetherness. The message is super relevant and important...it's one I write about often. Be in the present. Be 'HERE NOW'. Great word economy. Fine flow.

Tasteful presentation too!

Well done. Good luck!

Warmly, rd

Here's one I heard before... Yesterday is a memory, make the best and value today, tomorrow is not promised. Yours is a great idea, yes it has value and use it wisely. Best wishes in the contest.

Good use of all syllables to convey an important message that urges the reader to live in the present and relish life by sharing time together with those one cares about.

This sounds like a good philosophy of life summarised succinctly. The word 'share' makes it stand out from the usual 'live in the now' poems. You give a good reason for doing so.

Thanks, Tony. I was aiming for a "different" approach from that which I expected many would take. Not sure it worked all that well. Cheers, Craig

There is no time like the present, don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today! I loved your sentiments and in time, as you say, all we have is now, good luck with the contest (if it ever comes around!). He he he, love Dolly x
