The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: returning.

Hah, your title seems rather more optimistic to me than the poem so far warrants! If you're curious you might want to compare this with the first verse all the way back in January.

Returning
Sunday, maybe? And the sun is shining
Low in the sky. The pedestrians are all dead,
Or sleeping on the streets and have been for so long
That their bones are dry and visible through their skin.

Greg - I like to give you the option to take things in a positive direction, that's all :)

Okay, now I need to go find that first verse. Hold on.

Okay, yeah, so returning... but not to anything good, apparently. Well done on bringing us back here at this point in the year.
