O, Father Time MAG
November 6, 2012
That Father Time
No dad of mine
He came to see
The work I'd done
With riddled rhyme
And rigid thoughts
In a fragrant, smooooooth
Pleasant lyric.
But
I said to time,
“You have no place
To hold me to
Your pointless race
On abstract tracks
Devoid of space
No depth but what
I give it.”
And
I think I'll watch
My own damn clock,
Those loving hands
And the smiling face
You're just a watch
You heartless thing
No dad of mine,
O Father Time.

Thank you! But...it's not in the magazine. *I wish it was.* If you're referring to the red check mark, that just means it's "Editor's Choice." A poem that has been published in the magazine will have an icon of an open book with "MAG" written across it. :)
