Fall back I'll catch you
You've got nothing to fear
Let go, I'm open
I'm right behind you here
I'll cover you with all of me
I'll wrap you up inside
You're safe and you're secure
But for a little while hide
And be concerned for nothing
I'll take care of things
Let your mind and body rest
Soar upon my wings
And then when you are ready
Your spirit now revived
I'll open up and let you out
And watch you come alive

what we had was knack
to spring forward then fall back
become some sad sack
from straight path may stray
then to God can hear me pray
with please do away
catastrophe mere
daylight savings did disappear
now no longer here
will wear bandana
when we live in Canada
peal a banana

an hour falls back
energy body does lack
ate one more big mac
so old in stature
hope will last another year
put out to pasture
ran down from the peak
a wide creek water would seek
hear sounds it did speak
Creek From Pike's Peak to Cripple Creek

He is on my last nerve – singing and dancing to Christmas songs.
I envision throwing him into a large snow drift.
Then I remember that this is what attracted me to him initially.
He finishes all of my sentences, which irritates me to the inth degree.
Hold up! My conscious says. Remember those who could not?
Many had no idea what I was thinking or feeling. He does.
He chews his food loudly; another reason to muzzle him.
But then I remember all the times he has helped my family.
Helping them move, paint, mow grass. He is my hero.
In order to love him the way he deserves to be loved,
I force myself to make a list of all of his best qualities
I look at them and review them at least once a month.
If I did not do this, I could barely tolerate his off-key singing
And the way he reads my mind.
I look up and he winks at me, all-knowing.

The changing of the clocks has me all bamboozled
Woke up in the middle of the night and put on my shoesies
Clocks all showed 6:15
“Fall back” you silly old bean
My question is “WHY” all seems kinda goofy

Fall Back
By Franklin Price
10/29/3017
Did you set your clocks back?
Daylight saving's time is through
Did you do it as directed?
As the clock was striking two
Did you know that's least intrusive?
If you go right back to bed
Get to sleep an hour longer
Or wake earlier instead
It's really quite confusing
What this changing does to us
We now have an extra hour
No excuse to miss the bus
If you didn't turn the clocks back
You'll be the earliest to church
Might even think the minister
Has left you in a lurch
I just looked at my I-phone
It wasn't yet turned back
I checked it out on Google,
I should still be in the sack
I really feel quite foolish
A birdie told me from the net
I know it's true for everything
So the clocks are back, you bet
Yet, we have another week
'Til daylight time is through
I now have an extra hour
To set my clocks anew
After I've reset the clocks
Now that I know the score
This poem's still on the right track
For stanzas one through four
So don't forget next Sunday,
Is the the day to change the time
Next week, without egg on my face,
May write another changing rhyme.

My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep
But hold me while I cry soft in the night
My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet
Yes, I'm tired, but this price is too steep
You see, in each dream I lose you, each time
My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep
I was in a crowd, all blank-faced as sheep
I looked for you; you were nowhere in sight
My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet
I was running through a forest, running through trees
Then I saw the snakes lunging in the half-light
My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep
Never have I known dreaming to be so bleak
Never had something to lose, to for fight
My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet
I don't want to sleep alone; come now please
Come to me so I can finally breathe
My love, please, don't let me fall back to sleep
My dreaming is full of nightmares, my sweet

You may catch up on your rest
So that now you look your best...

endless thoughts,
where do i begin?
what this has brought,
is it possible for me to win?
a ball of fire,
hangs low in the sky.
fading to pink as i gaze higer,
it catches my eye.
the changing leaves.
colors burst.
natural beauty, hard to believe
its quenching my hearts thirst.
cool air hugs me,
like an unwanted blanket.
warm thoughts flee,
with better places to be.
standing, admiring, questioning.
surrounded by natures beauty.
appritiateing for the first time.
good, yet bad, truely.
since this is where i fall back in line.
life takes time, but
time takes patience.
patience contridicts your gut,
which follows your heart, so where does tht fall in relation?
healthy?, happy?, broken..?

We had to Spring forward,
now we must Fall back,
if we are going to keep
our schedules on track.
