LAND AND SEA AND HATE

Posted on by under stray poetry- challenge poetry, The Stories

BELOW IS MY SUBMISSION FOR W3 PROMPT 129. IT’S BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I’VE WRITTEN POETRY. I AM NOT SURE OF MY IAMBS AT THIS POINT. IT’S A FIRST STAB AT GETTING BACK INTO CREATIVE WRITING. THANKS FOR THIS GREAT EXERCISE!

LAND AND SEA AND HATE by J.E. Lillie

What heart is there now in this hardened land

That bends the ancient truths of Sovereignty?

Predispositioned to the will of man

All rebels rise, bequeath indignity.

To troubled souls made dumb by double speak.

All hearts are lost in ocean waves of lies.

That beggared sea embroiled with frothy peaks

Pulls down the great ships filled with wounded lives.

The sea meets shore and crashes all the more.

Men flop in shipwrecked garb upon the beach.

And gasp for life against this drowning war.

Then hand grasps hand to break the hardened breach.

A Thing called Friendship now necessitates

We turn the tide of land and sea and hate.

Posted on by under Photography, stray poetry- challenge poetry

The Home Photo Challenge was fun for me last year. Since I do not think much is going to be changing for me in the way of travel this year, I am going to continue the challenge for myself into 2021. This year I am going to add a little twist. I will give a brief description of each photo I take and write a Haiku to go along with it

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN IN THE FUN.JUST TAKE A PHOTO IN OR AROUND YOUR HOME AND WRITE YOUR OWN BLOG AND POST THE LINK IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW

Tendrils of Springtime

Reach to draw the sun’s strength forth

To bear much more fruit.

Earth fire burns Spring bright.

Lights the pathway for feet to

Garden’s great delight.

“Running Water flow.”

One of my many prayers

To Heaven for us.

The web roads of trees

The way of squirrels flying

Above the heads of man.

Grey sky sihouettes

Remind me that storms draw near

Harbingers of spring.

Shadows etch corners

Leaves climb the midair edges

Dancing in my dreams.

Fizzy lifting drink

In a green leaf cup, proof

Of life’s bright sparkle.

Nectarine buds at the Vicarage

First buds of the Spring

Awakening life. I sense

The coming of joy.
