2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 26
I apologize to all the earliest of risers for the poetry challenge. I’m a little behind the times for this morning’s prompt, but maybe that’s serendipitous.
After all, today’s prompt is to write a time poem. Personally, I’ve dealt with Daylight Savings Time, time zones, and timed races this month. Even this challenge is a timed event with a new prompt/poem each day and a collection due by a certain time in January. So think (and poem) about time today.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Time Poem:
“Speeding”
If time flies when I’m having fun,
should I consider having none,
or should I instead dive right in
and let the good times never end?
