You spend childhood
Yearning to be old enough
To pave your own path.
Soon seventeen comes.
Opportunity arrives
And seventeen goes.
Age happens so fast
You barely notice the days,
Weeks, years passing by.
Time passes, as if
You are watching your own life
Fading day by day.
Inaction, regret
What you wanted is gone, with
The age seventeen.

Sensational Challenge Winners
At Vocal, we're always going on and on about the freedoms of limitation and how walls and decisions and editing make great art. But sometimes you just need to let your creative hair down, throw some paint at the wall. This was one of our more open prompts, free for interpretation, few limits, just give us a poem, a sense of the senses.
