Each second we live
Brings us a second closer
To when we will die

Notes to this poem…
The Rejected Poems comprise of poems composed for poetry competitions, alone or as parts of collections, which I rejected for whatever reasons, and which I didn’t foresee being used for future competitions. Their publication on this blog ensures that since competition entries cannot have been published elsewhere, including online.
This was my haikued version of some thoughts in a meme I saw online about our time left in life. The poem was intended for a collection of haiku to make the reader wonder from the questions asked, but from which I rejected this poem because I knew I could do better with not only original content, but deeper questions… or just a question since I couldn’t bother to work to turn this into a question now that I knew I wouldn’t be using it for a competition any more.
