The exercise:
Your word of the day is: snap.
We finally received a healthy dose of spring sunshine today, so we spent most of it working outside. This is more like it.
Mine:
With a snap of my fingers
Those who once lingered
Burst into hurried motions.
A silent commotion
Surrounds and envelops me
As they bring my tea.
The sparkling steaming cup
Is slowly lifted up
To my slightly parted lips
By good old faithful Chip -
Who sadly will not grow old,
For my tea is cold.
