What is time? (60 second challenge)

By Moriah Burns (thisisme789)

What is time? How did it get thought up? I'm not sure, but I'm glad we have it.

How would we know when we must do something, and when we need to go somewhere?

Yes, I'm grateful that we have time, It's weird but I do.

-------------------------------------------------

Another 60 seconds by Bern:

Sixty long seconds is one minute of eternity.
Sixty seconds is just a flash in the pan.
Have you still got sixty seconds?
Have I got sixty seconds?
Have we all got sixty seconds?
The mind boggles what if this were
the last sixty seconds for all of us?
Eternity judged by sixty seconds
is too far out of our grasp.
Sixty seconds are up
and I could still write more.
------------------------------------------------------------

Sixty seconds by bern

Sixty seconds one minute of eternity.
Sixty seconds, perhaps the end of me.
Sixty sconds go on by.
Still sixty second no matter how hard I try.

60 Seconds (60 second challenge)

60 Seconds on the clock,
time is passing slowly by.
60 seconds in a minute,
60 minutes in a hour.
24 hours in a day,
7 days in a week.

Time is passing by,
60 seconds at a time.

Time has a root of 60,
and it goes on from there.

60 seconds on the clock,
the clock that will never stop.

A 60 second poem
Seems like not enough time
To write more than just its title.
Where are those who claim
That a minute can last forever?
Please do stop the time then,
And accept this 1 minute
Challenge.

Mike J Dee

60 seconds to write a poem.
The vast expanse of my mind is waiting to be tapped
But inspiration is seemingly lacked
I want to express -
But expression is kept
Within, where it is neither mine nor yours
Nor an expression exact
But in fact, it is
Merely potential untapped.

Time-60 seconds

Sometimes a minute can seem like forever,
while an hour can seem like it's not enough time.
Time can be too slow.
Time can be too fast.
When you're having fun,
time goes by too fast.
When you're not having fun,
time goes by too slow.
With your friends,
time is too fast.
With yourself,
time is too fast.
Time is too slow for those you hate.
Time is too slow for being alone.
See sometimes a minute can seem like forever,
while an hour can seem like it's not enough time.

dust and grain believe your way,
just ignore what you see,
defiance to fact,
truth can't matter anyway.

60 Second Poem

Make do with what you have
You must since time is all you got,
Don't forget to keep a smile
When you slide off the rail,
Oh my oh my, my time is about to end
What will I do exept transcend...

Smile down at me
You have 60 sec
To enjoy my beauty

LOOk beyondd
What your eyes can see
She was gone
My poem undone

The Easter Bunny (60 second challenge)

The Easter Bunny,
hopping through the night.
Leaving the children little surprises.
A little egg here,
and another one here!

He hops quickly,
having to get to a lot of houses
in just one nite!
The Easter Bunny!

Can you fall in love in 60 seconds?
If you did would you tell me so
How would you approach me
Would I really want to Know?
I love you babay.. Yes I know
It was love at first sight,
But I know It won't be my last.
For I have another 60 seconds
To love you once again..
I Really love you babay..
My sweet Angel Friend.. Amen!

dove 60 sec

My heart ran out of time
It pierced me like slime
I was Gooey all the time
I use to be IN my Prime
People always paid a dime
Just to watch me chime
But I also had to rhyme
But not I am gooey all the time
And Now I am lost for time

The end!

The Sun Shines Down (60 second challenge)

The sun shines down
on top of me.
Warming my heart
and relaxing my body.
It's there every day,
and gone every night.
You've got to enjoy it
while you've still got the chance.
You see,
it won't be there forever,
no it wont be
it's only there while it can be!

thisisme789 Love Is There

Love is there,
in the air.
No matter where you go.
Even if you don't know
who it is that the love is for.
I love to recieve more,
the more love people
have to give,
the better this world
will become!

Bern sixty long seconds

Sixty long seconds is
one minute of eternity.
Sixty seconds is just
a flash in the pan.
Have you still got sixty seconds?
Have I got sixty seconds?
Have we all got sixty seconds?
The mind boggles
what if this were
the last sixty seconds for all of us?
Eternity judged by sixty seconds
is too far out of our grasp.
Sixty seconds are up
and I could still write more.

thisisme789 Didgets (60 second challenge)
Ten little didgets
hanging out on my feet.
They are sitting there,
wiggling in spot.
I need them
so I can walk,
and they are kind of fun
to put faces on!
