Time
Dedicated to Caleb Pirtle lll
Time
The supreme commander of life
Defying all who would alter its
Steady ticking seconds
Of existence
Oh, would it but pause to
Deny a sinister plot
Deny the wrinkles
And sagging skin
Oh, would it but pause to
Stop the reasons
For wars and
Weeping children
Oh, would it but pause to
Give me one more
Chance at becoming
More than what I am
But, no, the ceaseless and
Metronomic madness wears
Its power proudly and
Without a wisp of
Sorrow for the
Dying gasps of
Fools and lovers.
Time is now my silent place
Of memories.
( A poem by: Billy Ray Chitwood – September, 2016)

About My Dedication
My dedication of this poem to Caleb Pirtle lll has sound reasoning. Caleb, with over sixty penned books in his career, just released his latest masterpiece. It just might be the best I’ve read this year. Friday Nights Don’t Last Forever is a novel that really brings to life the phenomenon that is Friday night high school football, its dominant appeal to the masses, and the behind the scenes college recruiters who offer the moon to the gridiron gladiators who become heroes to their hometown and state’s loyal followers. This thriller is about quarterback Casey Clinton and his Alabama high school making it to the state finals. Casey has reputedly the best passing arm in the nation, and all the main stream universities want him – at whatever the cost.
Just launched, Caleb already has nearly thirty reviews, mostly 5-Stars with a few scattered 4-Stars, and I’m predicting a big-screen or ‘made for television’ movie coming from this great book…you listening, Hollywood???
Anyhow, I’m thinking this writing machine Pirtle knows a bit about Time…
Here’s to you, Caleb!
