I can really relate to your subject. It is a common thought of my own. Remember when summers seemed to be the longest break from school. Now, they fly by as I spend them with my grandchildren(who are growing much too fast), I enjoyed the look through another's eyes. I can't help but wonder what it will be like at 88 as my mother is. Seems as if it would go much slower, but I will have to wait and see. Thanks for the write.

Thank you emjaihammond. Yes, imagine that, my mom lived to 93, they were just inventing cars, electricity, indoor plumbing when she was born. As my oldest grandchildren are coming into their 20s I wonder what they'll see in their lifetimes.

Thank you Zanya.
Comment from Glasstruth
You start off with an excellent question which gets the reader involved right away. The answer to your question is NO. It's just how we perceive things. When we're older, our goals have been met, or it's too late. Sort of like knowing the last hundred pages of a book which would change on how you see things. Very thought provoking. Les

Comment from barleygirl
This is a well-written probing, pondering piece that incorporates a complex poetic format I don't care to evaluate, except to say the construction does not interfere with the message (my main complaint with some fancy formats). This message doesn't offer answers, more like sitting around on the porch with old friends, thinking about how time felt "then" as opposed to "now" -- this poem has a comfortable pace & tone. Good job & thanks for sharing.

What I can remember about time is how you express the way kids want to spend up the moments and the older generation can relate to time with lasting memories of the look of the face and the pace of wisdom one lives to write about in the perfect Rondeau Redouble poetic style.

This is superb. I really admire your technical execution of this complex form.Kudos! As for the subject matter I am sure many people can identify with how much time accelerates after a certain age.I love your clock! In fact I covet it.

Another sound structure , my friend.
Love the theme in which you are so right.
Time slips away as only we know it, yet , to get totally engrossed inits aspect is to orchestrate sadness.
Good write,
RG

Comment from Joan E.
I love your great "retirement" clock--by the way, my husband calls it "rebirth"! I've always wondered about the seeming acceleration of time as we age. I enjoyed your rhymes and repeats as you pondered the question. Oh--where did February go?? Many hugs- Joan

Hi, Treischel,
"Times Pace" is an excellent complex structure poem that appears to meet the requirement of the rondeau redouble you specify. It has good rhyme, flow and figurative language and imagery.

Comment from Selina Stambi
Does time really get faster as we age? .. I'm nodding my head here - it does - I'm sure of it. Christmas and birthdays took forever to come when I was a kid and now they come too fast, before I have time to prepare!
Love the clock!
Tom, are you okay? You've been really silent.
