Goodbye, DST

Changes of time throw me off. Every fall I think I should do more with that extra hour.

The end of daylight savings time

Threw me off

This year

More than its beginning.

Usually

I appreciate

The extra hour

Of sleep.

This year

I wake up early,

Try to figure out

What to do

With the extra hour.

Oh, drat,

An extra hour.

I should sleep in.

I should

Be productive.

I should make breakfast

For my beloved.

I should write

A sonnet

Even though

I’ve never written

A sonnet

Before.

Yes

I should write

That sonnet

Or barring that

At least

A limerick.
