All conversation on this post
must occur in couplets.
Rhyming or not, metered or not, just one or not,

Talk about your day, how you're feeling,
media you've recently consumed, anything you like.
Today's prompt is blue
but you can discuss other things too.

given all the seasonal convention
whether one likes pumpkin spice
or finds just pumpkin nice
no subject
I have never tried pumpkin spice. / New flavors are always a roll of the dice.
Pumpkin pie, now, that's something good. / Someday I'll make one from scratch. Yes. I should.
no subject
to make the perfect pumpkin spice?
A dash of ginger and of nutmeg, yum!
a slip of the hand, a flavor bomb!
no subject
Put me in a happy place.
Add a dash of crushed black pepper
Or chai-like masala to make it better.
Autumn, in many ways, is nice
but one of my favorites is pumpkin spice.
no subject
but making it Just Right, fatiguing.

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
I used to listen, while reading about Vanyel,
queer love and loss; past self would never dare try
no subject
Arbitrary dividing line anyway.
Ah, poor Vanyel, I knew him well,
but he never resonated for me
quite the way I understand
he did for many others.

Should be ready, here's my rhyme:
"Ahuizotl's minions, flunkies, and crew,
Shall cower before the power...of Daring Do!"
no subject

I have other plans that night—
showtime, and something with little light.
no subject
Hope your performance goes according to your will.
no subject
is the look of terror I wore.
This is for my character legit,
but not what I was going for!
no subject
That you were nervous is part of the charm.
Unless this terror is not your character's forte,
The idea behind it may be worth trying to court.
no subject
but concluded a different mien appropriate here.
That said, my character does fear her love's shade,
and to God for deliverance she has prayed.
She married another, her first love quite dead,
and fears retribution now she has wed.
So terror suits her. It's just not what I meant.
And I so didn't mean it to show to that extent.
no subject
Now you know you can do it and be this particular bride.
From here, your comfort grows, it's true,
So you'll end up getting words, and emotions, in time for round two.
