@Jessicalynnt It is no bigger deal than changing your sheets once a week.

@AbbyGreenhill when you already have to get up at 445 in the morning, (after working 11 straight days) that loss of an hour of sleep is a huge deal! lol

lol, and I would love to stick with fall back, then again, I'd be happier if we could just nab one and stick with it, I hate the moving back and forth! Lovely piece!

I felt motivated by that day's post from @LadyDuck and decided to retry someday. I got the words here, had the idea but it just did not turn out to be what it should have been. Anyways, I am trying to get it out in open...

With spring ahead I look forward to the time When we were together Should have been enough to give me sleepless nights But it is pointless as I suffer from Insomnia ever since you left

@Jessicalynnt Thanks for the appreciation

. I was remembering the life with my late maternal grandpa and missing him so much, since the past 2-3 days. He loved spring because of the goodies it brings for us and the planet. The choice of words given by you helped me try.

this is lovely!!!! I think it's very well done. I know for some English isn't native, so it becomes much harder. Well you did a great job. This has some sad too it, I could tell.

spring, forward, time, pointless, sleep. The spring is here, but you're not. I want to fast forward time here at myLot. Why did you leave it seemed so pointless, I still don't understand what's the fuss! I hope your account don't just go into a perpetual sleep, Lost forever in a cyberspace that's not altogether that deep. Tribute: To my friend who legged it..

Hohoho! I personaly like it more than some my previous challenge poems

The first spring day! Cold winter ended. From this day forward i will feel Fresh morning air filled with splendid Jasmin aroma, that will heal Spiritual wounds I'm possessing. It's reborn time. Time for reviving. It;s time for me to get God's blessing And watch spring flowers quickly thriving. It's pointless now to wait for blizzard. Big brown bears stopped their sleep. It seems to me that winter wizard Gave up. Frosts, blizzards, stop to weep!

I like how different we take the words, I was whining about loss of sleep, other sad over memories of those long lost, and you have one filled with the hopes of spring! I always watch for yours too, lovely piece

Spring cometh in a night's sleep, pondering such a pointless thought why such an event we keep, Alas, bid farewell to night's length, for time leaps forward onto Mother Earth's strength.

In the US spring tends to come early While in England the weather remains surly So to turn the clocks forward over here Would be pointless at this time of year For two more weeks GMT we will keep Before putting our winter to sleep

@Jessicalynnt I am pleased that you like it. I really should do more of the poetry challenges that you create, but I tend to copy down the words for later and forget all about it.

@Asylum lol, I have a feeling you arent the only one, if only we could flag posts we wanted to come back to in a 'save for later when I have more time' tab

I cannot say I did this within the hour as I ran about doing my real life chores, composing one line at a time Brushing sleep I am up and awake For a moment my muscles do ache Time to move forward happily The lark chirping pointlessly Every step with a spring I take
