Matt Tracy, another charter member of the Young Author's Group, shares one of his poems with us today called 

Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)

Gather the rose buds while ye can,
because time, is inevitable.
And this same flower that is full today,
tomorrow shall surely be dying.

This sanctimonious sun.
The higher the fireball is,
The sooner it shall die out,
and near it's darkness.

The youth is best young,
when youth is as warm as the sacred flame;
Youth and blood are being spent, for death is inevitable,
and the time still succeeds.

Don't be shy but instead, use that time,
and marry ye shall be:
For losing your happiness,
you will never forget.

And you shall surely regret...

--Matt Tracy
