The exercise:
Write about: limbo.
That's what the time between Christmas and New Year's Day always feels like to me. Trying to have a little more of a schedule and structure this year though.

The exercise:
Let's write about: the long wait.
That could apply to a couple things in my life right now, but the wait I was thinking of ended at dinner tonight. Last summer we were forced back to Vancouver before they turned, and this year they came ready much later than usual due to the colder than normal weather.
But at last, at last we got to try one tonight. And, unsurprisingly, our red peppers are frickin' sensational.
Mine:
It sits empty,
Day after day;
Wind, rain, or shine,
It stays that way.
Maybe today
Will bring the end -
Haven't enough
Days passed, my friend?
But the postman
Carries no news,
So this long wait
Still continues.

The exercise:
As the wonderfully inept Canucks ended their playoff run tonight, the starter shall be: the long wait begins again.
On the plus side - no more hockey watchin' to take up my precious spare time. Hurray?
Mine:
Winter has passed us by,
Clouds slip from the sky;
Collect your hollow gear,
Be gone quick from here.
Again the season ends,
With more let down friends;
Perhaps we should give up,
Think not of that Cup.
Except when Fall returns,
So too does that burn;
Waiting begins again,
Though it be in vain.
