June’s Chill

chill, chill, this awful chill
despite the sunny glade
I’ve fed for warmth
no, not the hearth,
too high a price to pay

it’s summer dear
I want some cheer
from bills that come to pry
me loose of coin
to dollars join
and like a lark, to fly

please stay the course
from wintry horse
whose rider grabs me pay
I want some left
for summer’s crest
pretense of holiday

I also posted "This New Morning" yesterday...it's WAY down the board, today.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Hi Vas,
Really like the rather eccentric rhythm/rhyme scheme. It really carries one like a good old folk song. Exellent write!
Stay out of those chills. LOL

Thanks, bags! Just finished the dishes of two days collection and I'm all warmed up. Funny how getting around to doing what one should be doing, its labor, warms the body. Shucks, one more reasong not to procrastinate. Doubt I'll remember it, though. LOL

A bit like convincing oneself that they will feel better once the excercising has stopped. hehehehe It's that doggone starting it that's the tough part.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
