one sentence, improvised, end of civilization as we know it
give it a try over at http://dversepoets.com
It had been only three weeks since she kissed
Him goodbye, escaping the gloomy skies
Of home for a dose of sunshine, (something
She craved in the middle of winter even though
He did not), but something had gone awry while
She soaked up those healing rays and he sulked
Under the gray clouds because as soon as she
Stepped into the house, before she could even kick
Off her shoes, he slumped off to take a nap, signaling
The end of the world as she knew it

There is so much tension in this and you have intensified it with the feeling of contrasting climates. Great answer to the prompt, Candy. And just to let you know, the link you provided was broken but I added the correct link directly to your poem.

The tension is intensified by having to feel the taut contrast in two climates. Great answer to the prompt, Candy. (And sorry if a comment pops up twice, I’m having technical difficulties commenting with many of the blogs.) Also, the link you provided was broken but I added the direct one to the Linky widget.

I like how those last two lines described an unexpected, but possible end to a relationship.

What a tight sad beautiful improvisation. The personal is the point incursion of civilization. Worlds end everyday all around us, at least for now there’s still the sunshine somewhere,

This sounds like one of those repeated breakups… a groundhog day breakup maybe.

Maybe he needed sunshine too….but just didn’t know it. Relationships are like tiny civilizations of their own….a little village with so many complexities.
