Wonderful creative prose. Especially "Life is too short, To have time stolen away.' Enjoyed your choice of music, "TimeWarp" one of my favorites, brings back los of happy memories. My best, Gloria

Ahh the paradoxical battle of losing an hour to gain an hour. A great whimsical and grumpy write:-)

Also: Enjoyed your "Life Cycles" septcouplet in MISSISSIPPI CROW. Something very speical about seeing it in print with Jerry Bolton acknowledged as the creator of the form. Honored to share those pages with you.

Losing Time is a wonderful poem. It can be interpreted in various ways depending on one's needs or experiences.

I’ve heard you’ll be back

Seven months from today

But if it was all up to me

You’d simply just stay

Perfectly concluded. Thank you very much Sherry.

Still another 12 days to go for me and I'm already half asleep... Can't say I ever notice what the clock is saying around about that extra or minus hour, so not sure what that says about me... I'm just always within my own time capsule, I guess. Late for everything, usually. Like this vote for the missing 60 minutes... would make ME feel wanted at any rate! :)) K xx

You will get it back in six months, politically guaranteed. We celebrated by staying up way past midnight and getting up early. Maybe, tomorrow it will hit me, hee, hee.

Two cups of coffee
Instead of just one
I’ll need more caffeine
So I can get my job done

I hear ya, Sherry - and I love your poem and the music with it! And now, for another cup of java...

First: I love that you love Dalí.
Second: I read a poem done with the abandon of someone in need of another cup of coffee...yet, "if someone had asked me..."

Hi Felix, I don't mind your comments about the music at all, and I agree with you one-hundred percent. The point of using this song was that it should be annoying like that nasty alarm clock that will be going off one hour earlier. It will, no doubt, be playing some upbeat song that does not go well with the dream it had disrupted. Thank you for making me aware that my point had not been clear without my commenting on why I had chosen this particular song.

LOL love it and the way you express your distaste for the changing of the guard when it comes to time. This is a great write but one suggestion lose the music your work is good enought to stand by itself, I like the song but it does distract on this one which I think is excellant. Hope you don't mind me saying so...
