Hi Senna and Happy New Year to you too.

For this challenge the minimum length of poems is 5 lines and the maximum 50.

The Blitz form is especially encouraged, just because they are fun.

Otherwise open to any and all on the theme of "The times they are a changing"

Now I am confused... is it 56 or 50 line maximum?

I apologize, I meant 50 but somehow 56 appeared so let's go with 56

no regrets Ghazal!

Who lies in my old hospital bed tonight?
When I left under a cloud what is said tonight?

She no ideal patient, far too independent
once on her feet could not be led tonight.

Wanting too much change far, far too soon
and so she's pressed onward ahead tonight.

Couldn't in any way be dissuaded away to be
sleeping not here but home instead tonight.

One thing only can be ascertained, thank
goodness her attitude isn't widespread tonight!

Year of Change

End of December
End of year
Year now ended
Year now done
Done like dinner
Done nothing
Nothing to say
Nothing to write
Write my story
Right my sins
Sins of commission
Sins of omission
Omission of duty
Omission of truth
Truth be told
Truth be sold
Sold at auction
Sold to high bid
Bid too high
Bid adieu
Adieu Angelina
Adieu to this time
Time to travel
Time to move
Move to tomorrow
Move to the future
Future uncertain
Future imperfect
Imperfect map
Imperfect vision
Vision cloudy
Vision dark
Dark clouds looming
Dark days to come
Come all ye faithful
Come round now
Now is upon us
Now is here
Here we stand
Here we fall
Fall all together
Fall down and gone
Gone are the sweet chords
Gone with the wind
Wind blows hard
Wind of change
Change myself
Change place
Place
Myself

It's all changing

rising tide
rising hope
hope floats
hope never fails
fails to disappoint
fails to speak
speak up
Speaker of the House
house of cards
house on fire
fire in the belly
fire in the sky
sky ablaze
sky of wonder
wonder what happens next
wonder what it takes to change
change is on the horizon
change is gonna come
come with me now
come see the moon
moon rise over the sea
moon light shared with my love
love never ends
love trumps fear
fearless women
fear not this night
night cap before bed
night is for poets
poets pen and sword
poets change the world
world turns
world is not enough
enough is enough
enough already
all ready for a change
already far away in my mind
mind over matter
mind blown again
again and again
against all odds
odds and ends
odds are we’re gonna be alright
alright it’s settled
all night long
long time a-coming
long day’s journey
journey is the destination
journey into the future
future
destination

Maybe I will ride a bike
Maybe I will take a hike
Hike through a forest
Hike across the country
Country full of neighbors
Country full of friends
Friends from long ago
Friends newly met
Met with smiles
Met with hugs and kisses
Kisses in the pouring rain
Kisses dripping with passion
Passion raging in my heart
Passion fills an ocean of dreams
Dreams meant to be shared
Dreams both old and new
New to me new to you
New places to go
Go to the ends of the Earth
Go with me somewhere
Somewhere somehow
Somewhere a mystery
Mystery in the air
Mystery in her eyes
Eyes alive with love
Eyes that sparkle
Sparkle like the stars
Sparkle shines on water
Water that brings us life
Water clean and clear
Clear and cool
Clear over there
There we go again
There is always time
Time after sometime
Time enough for love
Love to take you there
Love in my heart
Heart full of sunshine
Heart ablaze with life
Life worth loving
Life is unforgiving
Unforgiving and constant
Unforgiving and hard
Hard as steel
Hard also at home
Home here with you
Home by the fireplace

strands of silver
strands of sand
sand in my shoe
sands of time
time flies in the midst
time is running out
out of milk
out of words
word of mouth
words fail me
me and you
me-andering fools
fools rush in
fools in love
love heals all wounds
love makes the world go ‘round
round and round
round the world
world travels
world is not enough
not enough time
not enough laughter
laughter makes time stop
laughter binds
bind my hands
bind my heart
heart to heart
heartbreak and hearts full
full tummy
full house
house becomes home
house on our back
back breaking
back to the future
future will take care of itself
future shock
shocking how the decades fly
shock me into my senses
sense and sensibility
senses feed my soul
soul lasts forever
soul full of fire
fiery sparks fly in the night
fire and ice into forever
forever will come soon enough
forever is a long time
time measured in moments
time to savor the sweet
sweet
moments
