The exercise:

Write two haiku about: birthdays.

And a very happy birthday to my lovely wife! Who has been putting up with a whole lot more of me recently. And somehow isn't sick of my company, despite our nearly 15 years together.

Love you, Kat. Hopefully your COVID-19 birthday will be a memorable one, in a good way. Dinner out will definitely have to wait though...

The exercise:

This time around, the inspiration first, then the prompt:

Yesterday I was playing in the backyard with the boys. Miles was 'hiding' inside the soccer net, then came out while I wasn't looking. Which lead to the following conversation:

Miles: Do you know how I did it?
Me: How?
Miles: A little engine duty!
Me: *slight pause* Engine duty?
Miles: No, like Jay on Ninjago!
Me: *okay... so he heard it...* Oh, a little ingenuity?
Miles: Yeah! A little engine duty!

So go ahead and write a four line poem about: ingenuity.

Or, engine duty, if you're up to that particular challenge.
