Feel free to two haiku them or not. I kinda skipped haiku, prose, and poetry days last week but if you're not trying to tie a story together this week then it should be easier to manage them this go around.

Monday April 23rd, 2018

The exercise:

Going to do another theme week of sorts starting today. For the next seven days all prompts will be location based. You can try to tie them all together but, looking at my list here, I'd say that would be... rather difficult. Well, it'd be easier if I ordered them differently, but I'm not so... up to you if you feel up to the challenge.

Also: all but one of them were inspired, at least in part, by something that happened during my first four days back at work. See if you can determine which location is the odd one out. I'll share the inspiration for each prompt at the end of the week.

Anyway. Let us begin On Location Week with something that takes place: on a rooftop.
