The winners of the previous contest!

Under the terms of the pilot episode, the winner is only one - @tony-duke

If only i was the "Lord of the Time"

I would pause the good and joyous moments

But men we are, we live on till we die

" Tick Tock", the clock of death

But I would like to mention a few more authors. Consolation prizes - 5 SBD to each.

@wandrnrose7

As each leaf falls to the earth,

Disintegrates, then dies,

I come to understand my birth

And look toward renewed life.

@lymmerik

The journey you take away from birth,

The high road taken or the low,

That toy you played with in the dirt?

Was that a hundred years ago?

And also the author who made me smile :) Consolation prize - 3 SBD

@rayne122

This poem is just a steppingstone,

That's what it was always suppose to be,

Don't waste your time anymore,

Just give the SBD to me !!!
