Story Time (Poem)

[NowItsSlimeTime]

Inspired by this song

The time shall always run so fast,
None shall ever stay in the past
Time continues until the last
It will leave you behind so fast

The clock moves more, your hour is gone
We shall never see the new dawn
Stories told of heroes that won
Our lives rot, for now we are gone

The future is here, here at last
We would never know those that won
Their lives are theirs, we are the past
We will not see the next new dawn.

Did an extension of a ballad here (I think its just 4 lines?) The important part of a ballad is if you can sing it and if it has meter, so I focused mainly on singing it as I wrote.

Thanks!

I appreciate it. I was originally going to do a villainelle, but decided it would be too repetitive for what I wanted to get across

Do you have any poets you recommend reading?

Do you have any poets you recommend reading?

Poets or poems? As in, do you want an author or specific types of poetry

Also, do you want them to be long or short?

Authors and short, maybe someone who’s poems are similar to Stephen Crane’s poems, but anything that you think is good is fine
Thanks

One I like a lot for more short writers wouldn't fit the stephen crane vibe, but I felt it was worth pointing out; I really enjoy Isaac Asimov, who wrote a poem I pictured below

For authors specifically relating to the vibe of kind of, mysticism and escapism while also feeling trapped, and because I can't say edgar allen poe (his shit is LONG)

William Dean Howells seems like he'd be up your alley. He writes about existential concepts and is also a realist poet, like stephen crane.

I won't just give one, though, so here's another; Richard Joseph is batshit insane. He will frequently use punctuation and capitals to get his poetry across and it actually works well with what he's writing, somehow. He uses sounds and words and effects to make a really interesting feel, he will write this in depth poem about a horse then throw 'yuh' in.

I also like Plato, but I don't think he's your vibe
