Two Prompts - you choose

Paul Fowler has given us a choice this week. We can choose either "love and war" or "my city" or for the brave you can do both prompts. Put your imaginations in gear and write away.

Can there be love and war together?  Are they mutual or opposites and cannot occupy the same space.

For my city write about the city where you live or grew up in... show us don't tell us.

Happy Holidays

OMG, it's my turn for the prompt again and I forgot yesterday. But then I didn't realize this Thu is Thanksgiving until just a few days ago. I keep joking about my inability to read a calendar.

So for this week's prompt, write a holiday poem. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, New Years, or any of the ones coming soonest. It could be Valentine's Day or the 4th of July. Or even St. Swithin's Day, which I had always thought was St. Swiven's until I looked it up to see if it was a real holiday. My second husband Chuck always used it as sarcasm about when something would be done. Turns out it's not only a real holiday, but Jane Austen already wrote a verse about it:

St Swithin’s day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun’s day if thou be fair
For forty days ’twill rain na mair
