I have never written this style of poetry so to try to commit on someone else's would perhaps be a little awkward. I would like to try writing this style but I think I'll have to learn first. It looks good to me.

Lovely writing, but I would recommend that you use disappearing instead of evanescent. It is not a common word that all people will know. Bill Schotts wife is in the hospital add them to the prayer list.
Season's greetings. Sound ironic. Karen :-)

This is an excellent response to the prompt. You give us words to ponder as we consider the progress of time and the meaning of life with all its variety forms.

This is a very cool style of poem . You have a good rhythm going and it's almost like a child's poem being very playful. I enjoyed this. Great job. Gretchen

This tercet, Beyond Our Grasp, has the proper formatting and sends us into the grips of insanity as we try to get somewhere in an ever-changing environment.

Found this: pendulum

Time, that master of our lives, causes swings of emotion and experiences as it moves relentlessly forward. Always elusive and beyond our control. Excellent Tercet. Best wishes for your entry.

Loved this description of the in graspable nature of time as an "evanescent dream." Great use of alliteration, too. Hope this does well in the contest!

I really like your language choices here and there is a rolling rhythm that perfectly suits your chosen theme. One little edit required - "pendulum". Lovely choice of metaphor with time being described as "inexorable roll of wheel" - that's really spot on! :)

Our emotions sometimes swing from joy to sorrow and we never know what we will face in life and it can be a rollercoaster ride, I enjoyed your fine sentiments here, love Dolly x

You did a very nice job presenting this quatrain in a meaningful and well-written manner. I would mention that the prompt asks us to state in the notes the style of meter and rhyme scheme. Good luck.
