Your pensive piece reminded me of Satchel Paige's famous comment; "don't look back, that thing maybe gaining ground." Don't know why, it just did. Liked your comments after reading the poem.

Hello and thank U, Dave. I was unaware of Satchel's comment. (but then, I'm unaware of so many things) It is a good one.

Thank U! Yes, slowing down is easier said than done, eh?
Comment from Tallteller
"Come fill the cup and in the fire of spring the winter garment of repentence fling, the bird of time has but a little way to fly and lo the bird is on the wing." Slow down and you miss out on all that you could have done in the short time you have. You take the opposite view and express it really well. Play out the time line on God's fishing rod and swim in the pond a while longer. Yeah, why not?

You've scribed a most interesting poem that
reminds us how tenuous life really is. I just
have one suggestion for you to consider.
and with his [a] scythe he smiles.
This is a short line and the use of his and he seem a bit redundant.
Thanks for sharing your poem. -ray

Hi Victor...yikes I'm slowing down too. Don't want that grizzle guy in the picture to come after me! (smile) I like dark poetry now and then and this one certainly qualifies as dark. You did an exceptional job of writing this one....chey

I don't think you should slow down. The grim reaper is collecting in Chile today. I do agree we should take more notice of the things around us. joan marie

Thank U Sameer. I would like a quartet of vampiric women, but I would need control as well.

Wow, eerie but a great write. Even the picture is frightening. He waits calmly to reap from those who hurry. I'll be one who very slowly moves along and will stay out of his way! Very good and I enjoyed. . .Sharon

Great message is just a few short lines.
Hurry, hurry, death is nigh.
Love these lines:
'Tis just his lot
to reap from us
the ones with endless hurry.
And, yes, I am impressed with your degree. Wish I had one.
Blessings.
