A very well-written poem on time. We do not know where time comes from or where it is going. We use time as a tool to schedule our lives.

What an excellent thought-provoking piece.I often think that time is a mere illusion.This poem brings that message to the fore.Clever use of the past-present-now principle.An excellent and interesting piece of work.Much enjoyed.

A great thought provoking poem on time.
One might argue that there is a beginning and an end to time, but one thing is certain.
There is no important time than now.
Ecellent job!

It is true, as Quantum Physics supports, time is an illusion. NOW is all that matters which you express beautifully in this well penned piece. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Second review


Good job! I also forgot to mention, I love your artwork choice and color scheme. Well done.



First review (FOUR stars)


I love the theme and substance here, and especially the closing line. I love how you refer to Einstein as Albert! So endearing. I enjoyed this contemplative musing. Just a few spag nits made a few stumbles along the way, so I suggest some edits below:


*
Either (that) or time is not for certain


If so(,) what was before the Bang?
When did now become then?


*
Does time marches(march) on?

*
But,(no ,) can't we dial time back(ward) and forward?

Good lines and rhymes:
There is no yesterday, except in our imagination
There is no tomorrow, it is only our cogitation

I AGREE:
There is no beginning
There is no ending

It is all an illusion
Time is timeless


Perfect ending:


The only time is NOW


If you fix the glaring spag nits (like using marches instead of the correct usage: march and the first suggestion as well), I will upgrade. The others (commas) are optional but recommended.


Warmly,
rd
