Tag: Time

Poems about time. How it changes and what the changes feel like.

It is inevitable, and must be lived through. But it allows us to learn and grow – whether we like it or not.

Many of the poems about time are related to the poems about transience. That is another common theme in K-M’s poetry. And for much the same reasons. She is fascinated with time, changes and likewise with how to cope.

Time is something we all have to deal with, each in our own way. It shapes and molds us, and fighting it is meaningless – yet some people choose that path anyway. K-M Skalkenæs does not – she rather preaches acceptance and coming to terms with it.
