Lost Tim...How fun, Heidi! And what a great line...<br /><br />Lost Time<br /><br />I found a piece of lost time<br />in the grass today,<br />gleaming silver like a coin.<br />It's in my pocket, round<br />as an old turnip-shaped watch.<br />Who knows when I'll need it?<br />I could use it when I'm late<br />for school, use it when I'm not<br />quite finished with my homework<br />or the last six pages of a book<br />and my mom stands there saying<br />"Time for bed." The thing ticks<br />softly, like a friend talking<br />just a bit too quietly to hear.<br />Maybe I will keep it instead.<br /><br />—Kate Coombs, 2011, all rights reservedKateCoombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584944601221466789noreply@blogger.com
