Lose an hour of sleep,
Or gain an hour of daylight?
Thinking positive
Senryu

Lose an hour of sleep,
Or gain an hour of daylight?
Thinking positive
Senryu

Oh my, mercy me
Tonight it ends
No more are we
Saving daylight
Standard will be
Courting darkness
Daylight will flee
And hide away
Til it’s set free
In the Springtime
Rhyme/Syllabic Verse (4 syllables)

An hour flew away
Walking with time last night.
As we sprung forward,
Sixty minutes vanished,
Erased by daylight’s hand.
Tanka
(Daylight Savings Time begins today)

Daylight has left me
Sitting alone on my deck
The sun now slowly sets
Darkness tries to dominate
The moon’s soft light overcomes
Tanka
