Minutes flew by
Busy hands and minds collab
Creating art with grand-daughter
Senryu
Even though outside it was another cloudy, chilly, rainy day, inside my craft room it was sunny, warm and cheerful!
My grand-daughter came over this afternoon to participate in another art collaboration project with me and we had so much fun sharing ideas, chatting and creating. She inspired me, as I did her and we both ended up with projects we were really happy with!
Fun day!
All’s that left now is
Empty Chairs
Minutes before
They held my dear ones
Time moves
Swiftly, savor it
Double Syllable Lune
Tonight my grand-daughter and her boyfriend came over for supper. We ate, had cake for dessert, played cards, talked and laughed. The two hours of time went by so quickly. After they said their goodbyes, I looked around at the empty chairs and quiet house and was reminded how fast time goes.
Thankful for the memories.
I’m fighting
The urge to not care
To give up
Abandon
All the minutes given
Me to use today
Shadorma
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; Psalm 63:1
We count our life in years,
But what about the days?
All the seconds of life?
Cherish all the minutes.
It’s in those moments,
Memories are made,
Chances are taken,
Changes often happen.
Treasure every breath.
Celebrate each day.
Give thanks for your life.
Syllabic Verse
My grand-daughter messaged me today to tell me I have lived 27,365 days so far! Where did all those days go?
It seems a lot longer when you view your life as days rather than years!
It’s pretty amazing to think about, and so inspired the thoughts for this poem.
Old man time and I
On the the longest day of the year
Measuring minutes
Haiku
First Day of Summer—Longest Day of the Year
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)
Deadlines, Challenges
Push us thru our daily life
Dealing with Wants, Needs
Sorting out our prorities
The minutes turn into years

My poem today was inspired by the annual observation of “Tick Tock Day”.
Tick Tock Day is observed annually on December 29th.
Tick Tock Day is a reminder that there are only 2 days remaining in the year.
Do you have any unfinished business that needs to be done in this calendar year?
Is there something big you want to accomplish yet this year?
Now is the time to finish up as the clock is ticking!
For info on daily observances all year visit: National Day Calendar.com
Today I gained an extra hour because of the Fall time change where we set our clocks back one hour.
So enjoying that extra time! Nice gift!
