Slipped By
September 5, 2013
the morning was dark and damp
the clouds hung in the sky
the only light was those of lamps
while the hours slowly slipped by
the afternoon was bright and hot
every pond was dry
i sat near the forget-me-nots
while the hours slowly slipped by
the evening was cool just right
the earth seemed to sigh
i lay down to watch the night
while the hours slowly slipped by

I like how you clearly portrayed the sense of time slowing slipping by. Good description of nature around you to contribute to the idea of time continuing on. Your rhymes make the poem flow!
