    Poem Commentary

    Mr RHPeat placed a miandering pencil on his pad a little while ago and came up with an exogetic mind expander on the use a single word of the English or American language ... UP.

    This offering is the result of the mind stimulation he caused in mine.

    ON TIME

     ON TIME

    Some of Those things we can have;

    Perfect timing
    Bad timing
    Plenty of time
    Quality time
    Time management
    Valuable time
    A time frame
    A time factor
    Time to kill
    Coffee time
    Tea time
    Crunch time
    Supper time
    Lunch time
    Miller time
    A good time
    A bad time
    all the time in the world
    Time constraints
    Time delays
    Time signatures
    Time stamping
    Time capsuls
    Time warps? (Well, Hollywood can.)

    we can have;
    overtime
    Summertime
    Wintertime
    Springtime
    ... but curiously enough we can't lay claim to Autumn time -
    (We just have to let that one ...fall. It's something that just is.)

    Some of those things which TIME does, or can do;

    Time will tell
    Time catches up with you
    Time will pass you by
    Time marches on
    Time ticks away
    Time stands still
    Time flies
    Time facilitates, i.e. = if time permits
    Time has a way of making hero's out of villans
    Time is natures way of saying there are plenty of places to begin
    Time can do wonders
    Time can heal all wounds
    time can relinquish it's hold
    Time can be a good teacher
    Time waits for no one
    Some of those things which  we ourselves can do with TIME;
    Time cannot be sold, but we often try to buy time.
    We can find time
    We can lose time
    We can save time
    We can spend time
    We can do time
    We can do hang time
    We can honor a tradition with it
    We can let things run the course of time,
    Run out of time ... and I'm just about there now as a matter of fact
    I might well have said, time constrains me to say more about it, but I've simply gotten to the bottom of my imaginings about time. Suffice it to say there's only ONE thing better than having a lot of time ...     having a little eternity.

    Time waits for no one. Time is progressive: time after time. It is nearly inexhaustible: all the time in the world. Time is slick and elusive: time slips away. Time cannot be sold, but we often try to buy time. Time has authority: if time permits. Time has no weapons, but it wounds all heels. time is not a competitor, but we race with it. thanks for your indulgence of a timely theme!

    Good man! Thanks for the input!! Here's what else I gleaned from Hollywood on the subject ... "Someone once told me that TIME was a preditor that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey. It reminds us to cherish every moment, because it'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as ... how we've lived. After all number one, we're only mortal." ~ Jean- Luc Picard, from the closing sequence of STAR TREK GENERATIONS

    That was a long time Neville, how about a time out. You really bring home the time that we are always so worried about and can't seem to get enough of. Clocks have been with mankind for quite some time. Sometimes it remarkable how much time controls us. Later and have a good time. A poet friend.. RH Peat

    Thass what I'm talkin about (as they say in the movies). I sat and imagined what it was like in the early days ...say of the Crimson Pirate, when they had to monitor the time by turning over an over sized egg timer every hour. Like how did they know they had enough sand in the glass to run out in an hour? And not only that but ...what's an hour look like when it's not on the face of a clock. Pretty arbitrary don't you think. I by all means solicit the aid of my writing compatriots in covering every aspect of time. Thank you sir - I will add that one right away. Wait a minute!!! Hey! what did Papa do here?!!! I can't get in to edit this thing. Where's the suggestion box? Hi Maddi~ Hope Mr. Re-Peater won't mind but I couldn't get the reply box to come down on your comment. Smiles right back attcha pumpkin.

    Neville the ancient Egyptians and Chinese had water clocks that dripped instead of ticking. They also had sand generated clocks as well. I not sure but I think the Incas and Aztecs also had timing devices. Keeping the worker to the clock goes back a long ways. Now we have clocks that change there numbers or measurement electronically and digitally without any sound as well as give different times for different places in the world. Like the computer, you can get every major city in the world. Well I added all this weather you had the time for it or not. But it is timely And if you wait a minute you might have waited too long. And I don't know if you can count wait watchers with time watchers. :-) A poet friend// RH Peat

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
