The exercise:

Your Friday Four Line Prose starter this week: anticipation.

I cannot wait for November to arrive.

Mine:

I have inspected the bars of this cage so often, so carefully, that I can see their every blemish with my eyes closed. I have tested them, over and over, seeking out a weakness, a crack that could be turned into a break, into freedom.

And I have found one at last - but still I wait.

Soon... soon the time will be right and then I shall be unleashed upon the world.

The exercise:

Kat is coming home this afternoon and she'll be staying for the week. This will be the longest we've been together since... June? I know that's not incredibly long, but it feels like forever at this point.

Anyway, today's prompt is: anticipation.

Mine:

My thoughts won't stay in single file,
My lips won't put away their smile,
My eyes keep turning to the road -
I've entered Waiting For You mode.

The sky is a little more blue,
The birds sing a little more true,
The air's a little more alive -
I can't wait for you to arrive.
