So much that can be said
#1
I don't know where to start, where to begin
where to begin or start to finish
where to finish entirely with this poem
because there is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it

So this is the end of the beginning
but not the beginning of the end
for the middle is in its duration
and there’s still so much that can be said
but so very little time to say it

However this is the start of the end
as I’ve forgotten what I was meant to say
but as I draw this to a close remember
there really is so much that can be said
and so very little time to say it
Poetry is the unexpected utterance of the soul

Better than eating too much too slowly, or too little too quickly, or eating everything in no time at all, or taking all day to eat nothing, what are we talking about?

This may sound mean, I hope it doesn't, I think you should not have the repetition in the last line in the stanzas because more could be said to give the reader a new feeling. Overall, I think you did a wonderful job on this, very much thought out and very true. We often have little time to say things that we want or even need to say.
