Tuck In

Just like the chipmunk
Planning for the winter’s day
We must now tuck in.

OUR WORD FOR THE DAY IS CIRCLE.
THE CIRCLE OF THE SYLPH
By J. Lillie
The forest wandered
Into my soul. I got lost
There in the trees.
The circle of the Sylph sang
My name, and I was long gone.

A Gypsy’s conflict
Lays hold and won’t let me go.

Winter Still Holds On: Haiku
Jonquils in full bloom
Bend tender heads in sorrow.
Winter still holds on.
Yes I know it is April 25th. Yes the spring flowers are all popped through and the daffodils (jonquils) are in full bloom. Still we have more snow in the forecast tomorrow and Monday. The good news is it will not last.

Leaving the World- My first Decima
I am joining RONOVAN’S DECIMA POETRY CHALLENGE-2.
I have never written a Decima. It is harder than it looks. I used this picture for inspiration.
Leaving the World
by JE Lillie
His Boat steers into setting hope.
The sky colors a silent song.
Beneath him plays the ocean’s throng.
He remembers when he awoke.
This child of the world could not cope.
The constant running, called to dance
To entertain the god, Finance.
He left the world against its wish.
And set off for the sea to fish.
Now he sleeps on the golden strands.
