No time for poems


No time to think

No time for words to trickle in

And flow out into a blank page

Blotches of black on white


No time to write

As I keep doing

There’s some much to do

Though I don’t know what


No time to waste

In meaningless thoughts

And empty words

When I have work to do


No time to live

As I work hard

Trading time to live

And for good times


Caught in the spinning wheels

Keeping up with its relentless pace

I’m in the race

A spoke in the wheel called progress

I enjoyed this poem that you had no time to write. I'm glad you took the time to pen a few lines.
