Idamarty,

This is a beautiful poem. I liked it very much. It made for an enjoyable read. The flow was smooth. The theme well thought out.

I did locate one typo. Nothing to worry about at all. It will be a quick fix.

Contemplating the what** ifs.
**what-ifs

Everything else was clean. Comprehensible and very nicely written.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

"Burning the daylight" is simply a great phrase for wasting time. It also sets the stage for the superb summation line: " As I acknowledge another Day spent reflecting on
Wasted time. You nailed the subject well.

I used to dwell on wasted time, but then I realized it was a 'waste of time', and decided to dwell on the now. I seem to be better off for doing this. Especially now that my husband is so very ill, I don't even want to think about yesterday. This is a great write, and I enjoyed. . .Sharon

How I love the wasted time images. You captured a day spent in idleness, contemplation, reflection.
It was enhanced by the perfect choice in art.
Excellent.

A sad smile tugs at my lips
As I acknowledge another
Day spent reflecting on
Wasted time ... wasting time thinking about wasted time!

Love the thought and the gentle lead to this conclusion.

A good free verse poem, Ida. Best wishes for the contest, dear.

Love,

Sonali

Time flies when we're having fun
sometimes when we're having none
Yesterday is gone, it's through
Tomorrow's not here, so no clue
But Today, today is a great day
To start moving toward the future

Well done with your entry, Buck

The temptation to reminisce about what might have been seduces me from time to time, but who knows if those scenarios would have played out the way I envision.

Day spent reflecting on
Wasted time.

Turned around could read: Day wasted reflecting on spent time. lol

You made a very good choice of your theme. I love the thoughts of procrastination as a strong agent of time wasting. Good word choices. Good Luck!

No time is wasted in my thinking. Everything we experience gets us to here. We are alive, ready for new choices in our journey. Nice work.
