Great Expectations

Great Expectations

These changes in the scenery I see
Around me, as the years fly swiftly by
Transcending hope that one day I may be
Unsatisfied with all I've not denied

From age my youth has withered,...gone away
Great expectations fade like memories
Held once in high regard, but since decayed
Forgotten now,.. transformed by gaurantees

Though some might call it wisdom that I've gained
It's helped me to imagine all that's real
Often upon reflection I'm ashamed
For unaccomplished dreams that I've concealed

And now that time dictates what I have left
It feels I've been a victim of it's theft.

Hello bags, I replied and asked for more. Had to search and find "Great Expectations" all on my own. In Form in Poetry, Classical and New. Never been here before the Classical scares me away. "Great Expectations" It has quite the reflection, look in the mirror. Possibly a narcissistic kind of thing going for it. "to thyne own self be true" time waits for no one. Take Care

Oh! but Gerry I need to learn. See what heinzs did for me. I qouted Shakespeare for some reason unknown to me and heinzs gave up his knowledge with his comment "Great Shakespearean sonnet" I promise you both that I will learn to and write a sonnet some day. Pure Inspiration Take Care
