All right! One day down, bring on day two.
For today's prompt, write a together again poem. It's one thing to split up; it's something else to come back together again. Sometimes getting back together is a good thing; sometimes it's a bad thing; and sometimes it's just awkward.

Here's my attempt at a Together Again poem:
"Together Again"
He settles in with his Game Boy
to play Tetris. Four squares to form
a straight line, a squiggle, and square.
When he's away, the music runs
through his head: da-da-da-da-da-
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-
da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
daa-daa-daa-daa-daa-daa-daa, daa-daa-
daa-daa-da-da-da-da...and yeah,
you either know it, or you don't.
