Daylight Savings Time

The sparrows don't know 
we're saving daylight,
still rising at the same hour.
Hearing squirms of worms, 
their wings take flight.
Over nature man has no power.

Was just reading about Daylight Savings Time and found out we are now back to standard time (fall back). So now we're back to "normal." I'd always referred to both as "Daylight Savings Time." Oh well, a poem for spring.

I actually like daylight savings time because I need that extra hour of sleep this time of year, but my body still wakes me up somewhere in-between the hour. That's exciting about our poem! I took a peak at the comments. Thanks again, Sandra. Poetic hugs.
