The exercise:
Write something to do with things being: unseasonal.
Waiting, ever so patiently, for warmer spring weather to arrive. Not feeling the least bit impatient with all these cool, rainy days.
Nope, not at all.

The exercise:
The countdown to Christmas begins tomorrow!
But today, your prompt is simply: 'tis the season.
Mine:
It's that special time of year,
When families gather near,
To speak without any fear,
Thanks to the magic of beer.
Outside the snow is falling,
While inside there's name calling,
Voices rising, skin crawling,
And the baby is bawling.
Bridges and dinner are burned,
Half-hearted kind words are spurned,
Vicious battle scars are earned...
And nothing is ever learned.

The exercise:
Spring has arrived with such force in Vancouver that it's tempting to say that Summer has come early. This is being gratefully received and I'm enjoying biking to and from work every day, as well as the return of ultimate season.
So today's starter is: seasons.
Mine:
Spring makes the robins sing,
Blue skies watch over you,
Sun warms skin while you run.
Summer is no bummer,
Reach for the sunny beach,
Dine under stars with wine.
Seasons have their reasons,
They give and take away,
Stop and savor each drop.
