Hurry, hurry! Time is passing by!
A day ago, the buds and shoots came out,
and now the scarlet leaves lie all about.
Hurry, now! You soon must say good-bye!
If there is anything you still must do,
confront a truth from which you always fled,
a promise left undone, a love unsaid,
hurry, now! Before your time is through!

*lie* all about?
Are you sure it is lie?
You still must do.......or.....you must still do?
I enjoyed your write, but I know your talent, and I don't believe this is your best for Round 2......I did enjoy your rhyming pattern.....clever
The visuals are personal and bring me into your work.....good luck & God bless you,

Great take on the prompt!

How quickly time seems to fly! You catch the sense of imminent passing of opportunities, the necessity to DO what we would not wish to leave undone when Life's day closes. Excellent "confront a truth you always fled, a promise left undone, a love unsaid." Vital things we would not intend to pass over, but too often assume we can take care of them "another day.

I think that you did a good job with the prompt and you are right time is to precious and short thanks for sharing best wishes always

The prompt you had was great but I never would have thought of this. You have done a terrific job with it! Good luck in the contest!
Hugs!

I like the message you have in this - time is short, over quickly sometimes. And if there is something that one should do - they shouldn't put it off.
Best wishes in the contest.
