Branches of hope,
Dreaming of spring’s promise,
Reach as if anticipating
New life

In my sleep I find
Idealized perfection
Utopian dreams
Senryu
Inspired by Dictionary .com Word of the Day “Utopian”
Lose an hour of sleep,
Or gain an hour of daylight?
Thinking positive
Senryu
Did
You ever
Wonder how
Poets find sleep?
Or what they might think
In those dark night watches?
As they contemplate slumber?
Are their mind’s in calm repose?
How do they enter into somnolence?
Poets count syllables instead of sheep!
Etheree
An hour flew away
Walking with time last night.
As we sprung forward,
Sixty minutes vanished,
Erased by daylight’s hand.
