Time waits for no man
I long for eternity
And yearn for the past

  2. At my age, I'm not mad about the idea of eternity, but a bit more of a past would be good!

  4. Time and tide waits for no man and time is without an end, so I would love to peep in the future rather the past. :)

  6. An enjoyable haiku.
    The past always tends to be viewed through rose tinted specs. The future is what we make it.

  8. Time, time, time we yearn for what is lost and hope for that yet to come...eternity can be a pretty boring place after a while....Nicely done haiku.
