I really like this poem...the layout, the wording, the message.

I think this is the first of yours I've read and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

Glad this is nominated, Kasie - it really is very good. Love the hourglass layout.

Take care,

Ben

I liked the message here Kasie, as also the hour glass effect. Well done!

Kasie, so very well done. With this new site, not the easiest feat.

Nice shape here. It's a shame that we can't format poems exactly how we want to. Maybe Janis will work on this needed change?

Kasie, I will apologise now for missing this absolute beauty of a piece, I have been poorly. As Mr D said it's a real shame we cannot format these concrete forms (a reason I stay clear of them) but maybe in time we can, here's hoping. I do love the format, shape and content. It's awesome.

The endless days that slowly pass
As the sun rises and sets.
^^
Those kinds of days are the worse especially when depression is kicking your ass as they seem to pass much more slowly and darker and even more so when there's nobody to pass the time with. It's kind of the same sh it but a different day. Maybe that's just me though.

Sand lingers in an
Hourglass
Of
Lost time

I love the imagery here. Just beautiful but sad too in a way. I felt my whole body sigh when I read this part for some reason.

And life’s regrets
With broken dreams and
Darkened shadows of silhouettes.
^^
All I can say with this is it's a beautifully crafted ending. We should never regret things we have done but those we haven't because well, we haven't tried them lol.. I guess we all have broken dreams, things we have wanted to do but have been unable to do them for one reason or other and well the last line says it all.

Take care, Em

Hi Kasie. This is a lovely piece.
