Haiku: Will 25/7 Give Us More Time?
“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” Nelson Mandela
Haiku: Will 25/7 Give Us More Time?
We gained an hour
Twenty-Five Seven won’t do…
Why, you ask? Time flies!
Icarus found out
Our time is ephemeral…
Heaven holds the truth
First I imagined how great it could be. Then I realized what a time suck it might become. If I manage my current time well, I have nothing to worry about. If I don’t then the extra hour wont help me much… Pity really but that’s a fact. We say we need it, and then we abuse it.
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Albert Einstein
Haiku: Will 25/7 Give Us More Time?
We danced in the street
As If 25/7
Will save us some time…
We took a long ride
And lay waste that extra time.
An hour here, there…
Giving us extra time won’t make much of a difference. Those who manage it well, won’t notice. Those who waste time, will procrastinate. We’ve barely mastered 24/7 so 25/7 won’t make a difference. I say ditch it and let’s figure out how to make the best of the time we already have…. 24/7 all the way.
More below!
“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” William Penn
Haiku: Will 25/7 Give Us More Time?
Procrastination
Extra time means extra waste…
We lost what we gained
So what do you think?
Replace the old with the new…
24/7
This post was inspired by a Daily Post Prompt:Twenty-Five Seven
Good news — another hour has just been added to every 24-hour day (don’t ask us how. We have powers). How do you use those extra sixty minutes?
Positive Motivation Tip:What you do with your time is your business. Make the best use of it and have no regrets.

Nice haikus!
Thank you! It was fun and I am pushing the haiku border with my poetry. Ha!
Thank you for this post! I love the concept and truth behind (within) it. It is clearly written and FUN! I agree with you about that one more hour even though I complain about needing an extra Saturday in the weekend. I am one of those procrastinators… *guilty smile”
You and me both. I know that extra hour won’t help me when I”m zoned out or procrastinating. TY! Guilty too. 😉
I am not much of a procrastinator, I like to use my time wisely (except for some evening hours when my guilty pleasure is watching TV).
You have a way of always quoting from people who are my heroes. Nelson Mandela is pretty much at the top of that list, along with Ghandi, the Dali Lama and a few others
“We’ve barely mastered 24/7 so 25/7 won’t make a difference.” I LOVE THAT! So true.
What fun Eliz, a lovely idea and great haiku 🙂
I really need to make more of my time. I am always procrastinating.
Great post! So much fun, I loved doing this when younger. Don’t think I’m talented enough to come up with any.
Also think I need a few extra hours added per day!
This is well written! Loved the haikus.
“We say we need it, and then we abuse it.”
So true!! When my office location switched and I realized I would save over 2 hours of transportation every day, I was ready to use that time productively. Then I ended up not using that time productively at all, but wasting it….
I would use the extra to hour to sleep! 😉
Poetry, especially Haiku, was something I always struggled with WAY back in high school, but you have such a great talent. These were so fun to read….thanks so much!
I’ve never been great at poetry, but you, on the other hand are quite good at it. These are so fun….thanks so much!
I know I could definitely use some more time. Thanks for sharing this wonderful Haiku with us.
I wish I had more time. I try to fit 2 days into one and get disappointed when i cannot get everything accomplished.
I was just hoping I had a few more hours today.
I’m such a procrastinator lol. I work best under pressure, I guess that’s why. Thanks for the fun post.
I love your take. 🙂 With Daylight Savings approaching, I hear myself clear as a bell in your haiku. 🙂
I can’t believe how fast time is flying! It’s almost Halloween. How is that possible?!
I want another hour! Mainly for sleep though!
Great post.! I will spend the extra hour sleeping! That’s the only time I will get at least 8 hours. lol. It’s only for one day though. 🙂
Omg I would sleep. And sleep. I couldn’t get enough! Why, oh WHY did we fight naps as children??!!!
Time does fly! And it’s so important to use it wisely! Thank you for the reminder.
The whole idea of this is so interesting, and I love the different haikus! They’re so thought-provoking.
Well, your post made me realize that extra time won’t solve the problem, I will find ways to fill it up with things like Facebook and dawdling around. What I need is to be more organized with the time I do have.
I’m afraid I’m a master of procrastination. I also flit from thing to thing and eat up time that way.
Can you add even more time to my day? LOL
Very cool! I remember loving the lesson I had on Haiku when I was in school:)
Such a lovely poem. And I love that Albert Einstein quote!
This definitely is food for thought. I love the quotes by Albert Einstein and William Penn. Definitely makes sense!
I always love your positive motivation tips! I really need to start making the best use of my time w/o regrets.
While the idea of 25/7 is a good one on the surface, if we cannot learn to use 24/7 the25 won’t make a difference.
I love your message. Your haiju is beautiful
I agree w/Trisha that’s a good tip. And i like the poem, you did a great job w/the prompt!
I am looking forward to setting the clocks back! However, I dont think there is ever enough time in the day!
very cool. i could use a few more hours in a day
What a nice Haiku! I can realize the concept and the truth behind the poetry. Thanks for a fun haiku. I love the lines ‘Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.’ from William Penn.
I love this! And it makes me think…I really need to organise my time better, because with an extra 60 minutes I don’t think I’d be any more productive!
Yep! It feels like no matter how much time we wish we had, we really only lose the time that is most precious. That is what we make of it.
