The Clocks Go Back One Hour

Time changes with life and life changes with time.
October grows too old,
Hobbling backwards
With the burden of years,
On the sinuous alcove of time,
Tenebrous and feathery,
Her hidden lamps blinking furiously
At the silhouettes of wasted days.
The wasted leaves of autumn
Break forth and dance down
With the weak speed of burnt confetti.

The clocks go back several ticks,
Schlepping on the tired

IF YOU COULD GO BACK

If you could go back, even just once
Would you fall for a face or feel for a heart?
Would you still ignore that quiet voice inside
Or would you trust it this time & let it guide?

Would you laugh a little more, cry a little less
Take the messy road, stop the guess?
Would you stop chasing perfect, slow

Premium MemberGo Back Home

She felt imprisoned, chained and sad
Her marriage was awful, truly bad
He is a meanie, a real cad
Go back home said her annoyed dad

This was her eighth husband, this guy Chad
He had been hand-chosen by her dad
He knew she was the problem, she was bad.
He felt truly sorry for his employee, Chad

Premium MemberI wanna go back to Michigan

I wanna go back to Michigan
so I catch me some really good fish again.
The fish from any other U.S. lake
tend to give me such a bellyache,
that I can't wait to have a Michigan fish on my dish again.

Go back

Open blue sky and fresh flowers around,
Vibrant but enthralling that surround,
Unchained, untied, nothing to bother,
Much leisure and a long time to ponder.
There are no paths to go back.
Go back to the springtime of life.
Hold on tight to encounter many more in life.
Don't take the chance to lose your track.
No wonder! It feels like giving up

If Only Time Could Go Back

If only time could turn around,
To days where love, like rivers, found,
The laughter shared in sunlit haze,
Where hearts would dance in joy's embrace. 

If only I could grasp once more,
The fleeting moments we adore,
To steal a glance, to hold you near,
And quiet all the creeping fear. 

I'd turn the hands of time in flight,
To bask

Let's go back

Let’s go back to that.

Telling stories,
teaching each other
how to play a guitar,
showing tricks
and playing games.

Sleepovers,
makeovers,
dancing and baking.
Building forts,
picking flowers.

Having power outages 
and bringing out candles.
Using flashlights just for fun.

Let's go back to that.
To taking time.

Premium MemberLet's Go Back to the Midwest

robin family is annoyed at Spokane’s rainy weather
They get a yellow umbrella and stay together
Let’s go back to the Midwest says the father, loud.
Yes! The wife agrees, looking at a new storm cloud.

They huddle together, bracing their feathers in the wind.
Mommy, Daddy, Zin and her twin brother, Finn.
At the end of the storm, they decide

Premium MemberCan't Go Back by Max Burchett

by Max Burchett

No, no, no,
Can’t go back.
No do over, no,
Oh, I want to go back.

A past moment in time
Exists only in my mind.
It hurts to know
I can never go back, no.

If I could try again,
Oh, what could have been,
Now gone with the wind,
But I’m still here.

Now going on from here
On the road to who knows

Go back home Hilda said to her farm pets, especially you, Duck.
They all stopped and stared. Now you’ve done it said Luck.
He was the rooster who was always bossed around by his wife.
You’re turning back too she said, if you want a good life.

Hilda gave a wave to the wives of her waddling pets.
She knew

If I Could Go Back In Time

If I could go back in time, 
I wouldn't really change anything. 
Changing things would be a crime, 
perfection, that's how I'd describe everything. 

I hate how we ended, 
but I love that we happened. 
I hate that you're not a part of my life anymore, 
but I love that when you were, you made

Let's Go Back

Let's go back 
By Michelle Morris
04/03/2023

Let's go back to the beginning
Before it all went wrong
Stop the mistakes in their tracks
And never hurt each other again

Let's go back to what was working
To the fun and magical happiness
The good we created in our hearts
Never a sad day to ruin the bliss

If I Could Go Back 2

If I could go back,
I would follow my dream.
  I would take my time
And float downstream.

  I could make it right
When I was wrong.
  Where I was weak,
I could be strong.

  The times I told a lie,
I would tell the truth.
  I would give better 
Advice to our youth.

If I Could Go Back

If I could go back,
Change the past.
  I would slow down,
Not go so fast.

  I would pay attention
To the older crowd.
  I get why, they're 
Cocky and proud.

  I would do better
In school.
  I would play less
Of the fool.

  I would adjust,
My attitude.
  I would show 
More gratitude.
