A robin high in a tree
is announcing his presence
to anyone who will listen.
Buds are starting to thicken
on leafless limbs.
Daffodils are blooming
along the road,
as days grow longer
stealing minutes from nights.
We'll soon pass
the Vernal Equinox, and
Daylight Savings time
is here again, but
does transferring an hour
from mornings to evenings
really save any time
as we spring forward?

Interesting concept. No I felt the day was just a day, 24 hours long or short if you see it that way!

Good question, to which the answer is NO! Other than having more daylight when seniors want to drive, or, as a friend told me, "more daylight when I am awake," it'sa shell game. I want ys to adjust our lives to sun time, rather than adjusting the clock to suit ourselves. Be real, folks! Clever poem. Glad Bob took up writing poetry.
