'Time' - A Triolet

Time once was guaged by candles burning

Time passes, but wisdom stays.

Knowledge is gained by time spent learning.

Time once was guaged by candles burning.

Wheels of industry are always turning.

Sundials replaced by solar powered displays.

Time once was guaged by candles burning.

Time passes, but wisdom stays.

Thanks for your positive comments....
I am a member of 'Greasby Poets and Writers'..
our matriarch is the inimitable Peggy Poole MBE and each month our members are given a subject and a format/construct theme request...

Guess what this month (Sep) is?? haha...

'Time' to be formatted in a 'Triolet'...

Well I did my best anyway...

A pleasing format which requires skill in delivery. The theme is well suited to it. Nice one...as JC observes.

Hey Graham, a triolet!
Good for you. Nice one. It invokes a nice, cyclical rhythm which is well suited to the theme of time.
I only ever managed one.
