An hour flew away
Walking with time last night.
As we sprung forward,
Sixty minutes vanished,
Erased by daylight’s hand.

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)
Can I take them back?
I didn’t mean what I said.
What I spoke was wrong.
I want those words to be unsaid,
And their memory erased.
