“It Seemed so Important at the Time” – a poem by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

It seemed so important at the time.

 What is left to say when the words fly away

 When yesterday seemed so important today

 Words and phrases arranged into such elegant displays

It seemed so important at the time.

 Imagine my dismay at Time’s lack of stay

 The moving hands always revisiting, always in sway

 Catching nothing, letting the pieces of me stray.

It seemed so important at the time.
