Planting life seeds
Takes time to grow
Will they succeed?
Takes time to know

Harbourwalk Poem W308
Lost a half hour’s
Daylight flying to St John’s –
Warm-up for winter –
With stupid daylight savings
Time coming in a few months

Tanka T146
What if you could sell –
Time which you had left to live –
In chunks as you wished?
Without being allowed to
Know how much time you had left

Time flowing too fast –
Is almost as bad –
As time flowing too slowly

Running Poem R082
Remember today
When you ran like the wind –
Remember today –
When lightning couldn’t catch you –
Remember today –
When thunder clapped for you –
Remember today –
Because one day –
It will not be this way –
When the storms of time –
Will wreck –
Your body and your mind

Time sometimes passes
By so fast I want to hit
The Panic Button –
On time I have left to live –
Even with a long life span

Running and shopping –
Together at the same time –
Saves time and money –
While getting things I need done –
Made for a great runner’s high

At this time of night –
From halfway in the harbour?

The most effective
Civil disobedience –
Could be a protest –
Against Daylight Savings Time –
Keep living on the old time
