“Wake up!
Oh sleepy head!
Time is marching forward,
But your body clock is an hour
Behind!”
Cinquain

“Wake up!
Oh sleepy head!
Time is marching forward,
But your body clock is an hour
Behind!”
Cinquain

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)


Spring ahead tonight!
Leave winter’s timing behind you.
Leap forward one hour!
Loss of sleep gains more daylight.
Hibernation’s over at last!
Tanka
