And here's my response to today's Write Better Poetry prompt. It was inspired by an announcement that an event I was interested in would occur live on the internet at "12:00 p.m. PT" on Friday. I had to think about whether they meant the beginning of the afternoon or late evening. (Some language/grammar experts suggest not using "a.m." or "p.m." after a 12:00 time, to avoid confusion, instead saying "12:00 Midnight" or "12:00 Noon", or simply Midnight or Noon. That still begs the question: When does today end and tomorrow begin? At 12:00, or exactly one minute, or even one second, after?)
Twelve o’What?
Is 12 a.m. midnight or noon?
Will I get there too late or too soon?
If 12 p.m.’s Sunday,
Is 12:01 Monday?
It all makes me mad as a loon!
Will I get there too late or too soon?
If 12 p.m.’s Sunday,
Is 12:01 Monday?
It all makes me mad as a loon!
