Traa - dy - liooar (Time Enough) Sonnet by Mike Williams 08/17/2017 @ 2:00 P.M.

'Tis a sweetness to hear traa - dy - liooar; 
For short the time and often unsaid. 
If sun be shown, where upon Vannin's shore; 
Day be kind, clouds whisper overhead. 

Roish looking for aalin in every place.
None such timidity did I find; 
And by some strange pardon is nature's grace, 
Where all too often not for mankind. 

I long to tarry, yet hurry the day; 
That moments hath a fleeting fast pace. 
By which I can rarely linger the way; 
And no time for footsteps to retrace. 

By the sea eased the bar a moment more,
I can say the sweet words traa - dy - liooar!
