Different Time Zones

For Tovli's 10 Word Challenge! This is my first prose poem. Hope it is right.

 

 

Different Time Zones

 

Sometimes I forget the differences in time. I wonder if I am ever going to get it straight in my mind? Boy, it seems I have wasted too many days, just trying. To say farewell to the task at hand, I cannot do. I have to get this settled, once and for all. There is the mountain time, I do not know. Then, there is the eastern time to know. The central time I have down pat. Because that's where I am at. I think there is another time zone, I have forgotten. Sooner or later I am sure it will come up. I cannot leave this task undone, because it is something I need to know. Once this is conquered, then my worries will leave me.

whoa--you did it. thanks for taking a chance on a new form--and i think your really did well for a first try! It has a kind of humor sewed in, and just a touch of rhyme--i liked it. tovli PS. that is the essence of Albert's Dream--taking a chance to write something new, not being afraid to speak like a poet--you really captured that essence here with words and attitude. thanks so much! tovli

Well done Sue!! I loved this write. You have penned the ever present
problem of "time zones" admirably. Don't forget to add 'Down Under times' and
also don't forget our daylight saving time AND where I live on the border
of N.S.W. and Queensland, where Queensland is out of sync with
every other State and has decided not to have daylight saving at all!
It doesn't get more complicated than that Never mind your time zones
over in the U.S ours are a doozy!! rotfl

If you really want to feel messed up, try going across the Pacific. When you cross the international date line, you lose a day. If we toss daylight savings time into the mix, we'll never know what time it is. Enjoyed your look at time, Sue! :-) Sharon
