Lake days
Snowbound craze
Song-birding Sundays
Chipping malaise
Home again
Gone again
Longing for Michigan
Y’alling and falling
Into a calling
No more forestalling
Flight out of Caroline
Into your arms entwine
Two hearts complete align
Long days of wording
Boundless absurding
Looking forewording!

Excellent writing my friend.

This just has happy written all over it, Jilly. Love the title, and every one of the perfect stanzas. Chipping malaise…uh, me too. If that’s golf you’re talking about. And it doesn’t stop there I’m afraid.

Thanks, Victoria! The ‘Chipping’ would work in golf as I played & caddied, but the allusion is to my alma mater – Central Michigan U. is the Chippewas – better known as the Chips. I meant for it to have multiple meanings… yeah – that’s my story 🙂

Fun. I spent a few years in Detroit so I guess I have a touch of Michigander in me. And there are many ways to read chipping.

Cute title, Jilly, and that “y’alling” made me think that you must have landed in the South at some point. 🙂 Love the entwining and aligning and all that rhyming…sounds like it’s been a satisfying life.
