To acknowledge my lateness in getting a daily challenge up (today has just slipped away from me!), today's spark word is 'late'. This started me thinking about watches, and inspired the below poem.
time
when i try to sleep in the night
i hear my watch
tick
against my ear
a micro maestro keeping beat
to an unheard
tune
which sounds to me
of a song my mother once sang

Check it out! Thanks!
It has been years since I attempted a haiku. Since it's late in the day I'm going to stick to the 5-7-5 structure and not try to be too clever.
Waiting
The number nine bus
is always late to arrive.
Time to see the road.
Ah - simple, but effective! Thanks, Jim!
I'm tagging you to do a 10 for 10 as well - I'll post a comment on your site about it :)
