Well down with your Pleiades poem! I haven't seen one since last year's National Poetry Writing Month. One of our Alaskan writers uses this form. I smiled immediately at "daylight stupid time starts" as we go through jetlag twice a year with the time change. I find it interesting that the extra sunlight is causing depression. Great job and even humor in your "dark" poem!

Comment from royowen
The sun not setting at eight suggests a season somewhere near summer, but then it may not be, but it could be in the tropics where time is more constant. This is a great Pleiades poem, well done, blessings Roy

The author's words are strong, clear, interesting and creative. Thank
you for the author's notes - great information. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork made me smile and compliments this poem.

Comment from R.B.Bunn
This was good. Really helps drive home the feeling of frustration time changes can have, especially with "spring forward", messes with my sleep schedule for a bit afterwards.

Comment from Sally Law
This is hysterical and I feel the same, just not as despondent. It messes me up even though I am near blind. I need that tiny bit of filtered light to get up in the morning. Sending you my best today from the zone,
Sally :))

Michelle,These words show clearly how depression takes away life's light and makes it a pain and not a pleasure. Well done.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Okay, Professor if the Pleiades has a single seven-line stanza and only one word in the title...Why do you have two words? Furthermore, Professor is it a dark poem when light intrudes into the night? Or a light poem illuminating the dark? These are way past my pay grade, Excellent as Usual. Terry.

This one got away from me. You don't like DST? Being retired it is better for sleeping in late and in life when inactive that is at times better than light. ..............................

Comment from jake cosmos aller
I loved this dark poem about summer naps, and nightmares during the heat of the day, and sleepless long nights to follow. Very powerful and dark at the same time. Thanks for introducing a new form for me to try

Time changes mess with people's minds and bodies; it's been proven. Your Pleiades poem is truly excellent, conveying a strong message about THIS time change--and really well written as to form.
