Category: Ovi Poem

Ronovan Writes has offered up Ovi Poetry Challenge #52
where we are asked to write an ovi using the word
“tomorrow” as inspiration. Here is my ovi.

Songs say time keeps on slipping
Like brooks o’er shiny stones tripping
And kids their jumps ropes skipping
It just keeps moving on

It’s safe to say time flies
Like an eagle into the skies
So smoothly, he barely tries
I’d like to touch the clouds

No time to do that now
Worry lines crease the brow
Don’t fret about when and how
Nothing good will come from that

No sticking your head in the sand
It’s time to march with the band
And accept a helping hand
It will all get done

Why put it off till tomorrow
When time you cannot borrow
It flies faster than an arrow
Like quicksilver in your fingers

Don’t say there is no time
To make another rhyme
Or an old oak tree to climb
You have all the time there is
