Advance the clocks.
Groggy at first
there is no spring in my step,
no possibilities
that I can see.
But I do have another hour
to keep my eyes ahead
to days of flowers
birthed by freezing rain
buried deep in snow
pushed upward for me to see
that yes indeed
I can spring forward
to another day
into a year of possibilities.
The dynamics of time captured with an ending reference to possibilities. Spring forward or ¡Adelante!

Another good word, “Adelante!” Thanks for stopping by Tommy.

Yes, it seems like a joke, more like April Fool’s Day when we have snow on the ground and more to come…we aren’t officially in “spring” here until after Mother’s Day!!!

Knowing you Suzi, you will spring forward whether there’s rain, sleet or snow. Like the mail person!

Couldn’t find no other place on your blog to ask this. But what did you think of McFarland, USA? The movie, of course. I haven’t seen it. I liked the trailer on the Internet. Maybe you could do a review on your blog. Then maybe I better not tell you how to run your life.

I really enjoyed McFarland, USA. Inspirational movies with a sports theme are right up my movie watching alley, i.e Rudy, Chariots of Fire. My blog posts focus more on book reviews than movies, as well as stories and poetry but thanks for the suggestion.

Love your optimism! I’m not a big fan of the change of time, but for some reason this one was pretty smooth. And I hadn’t read your great poem yet! Love the phrasing “I can spring forward.”

I haven’t adjusted so well, usually takes me 3 days, so I’m late everywhere 😦 By logic, I think I should be early, right? 🙂
