"As time goes by
Do we waste it?
Or do we truly embrace every second?"

Fantastic opening!
I loved the whole poem but those opening lines left me thinking for a long time afterwards..
Outstanding free verse!
5/5

Good questions posed here. I like how you said it's running to get out of this world. that was a good line. nice to see you do some free verse as well, you picked it up nicely!

Nice job. I like the way you used your opening lines as a refrain at the end also. makes a nice rythym. and i love the theme of the poem. we are in such a hurry to get to that next landmark, whether it be next week's vacation, or 11 months from now, that sometimes its hard to appreciate the here and now. in short, loved it.
