It is time
We stop writing
And read all that was written

It is time
To understand the written word
To critically examine
The old guard
Decipher the meaning
And essence of
Every expression

Modern, ultra modern,
post modern
Classic, Victorian,
Ancient,  folk
Many a variant
Expressions of times

Simile, metaphor
Pathos and ethos
Rhetoric and satire
Tragedy and comedy
Poetry and fiction

Every genre
Generously dwelt
In the time’s quilt
