Time is running shirtless through your wedding party
Time always leaves a little less than what you need,
I like the image of running shirtless etc but the “Time is” bit is declamatory in a way that doesn’t fit with the rest of the pome
The second “time is” is worse
And this one has sounds a bit cliched
and your desperate heart
It’s very difficult to write a poem like this one. The title and style bring to mind Ted Kooser, who is an ace at this sort of style. And comparisons are inevitable. But it’s a lovely poem, if with a few blemishes
Loved the cows and the postcard hills
