TIMELESS BEAUTY

As black crows pick on the beach,
the hourglass stays out of reach.
Time untouchable though free,
will alter figure they can see.

Then the youth which took for granted,
understands that time was slanted.
If only wisdom arrived early,
preservation would work, surely.

Superficial thoughtfulness
which may bring not much more, but less.
Preserve the youth which lies within!
Your world will longer retain spin!

TIME WIZARD

While Dorothy’s clothes were in the wash,
she saw in hourglass shaped like squash,
the consequence of witch’s curse
which witch said no one could reverse.

Sand ran through pinched passageway,
her final ending on its way.
Head in her hands, she looked away,
expecting this was her last day.

Then in the bottom there appeared
a vision which soon greatly cheered.
Herself, immersed and barely free,
swam among the weeds and kree,
tickled and quite stimulated
till she forgot what witch had fated.

When the witch which cursed returned
The hourglass broke, the water burned.
The witch reshaped as though smelted.
Dot became chastitiy belted.

Came a cropper through the keyhole
shapened on a forge by B-coal
by an expert timepiece maker
who longed to be her cherry taker.

Thus our story’s happy ending
keys up time by some mind bending.
Imagination’s world set right
by poet’s stanzas’ guiding light.
