It’s official! At 11:19 PM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr


Winter, in the morn, appears

Enticing everyone, with a flurry

Awakening the slumber of snowmen

Children, frolicking, on dunes of white

Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate

While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace

Longing for the first day of spring

 

Author’s Note: When this poem was written, winter arrived in the morning. This year, it arrives in the evening.  But I still think the last lines are true!  🙂

On the shortest day, and the longest night

When the winter solstice appears, anew

Let us gather round, be warm in its light

While we bid, dear autumn, a fond adieu

She makes her nest upon the water

When winter solstice comes to call

Calms the ocean, silences the wind

Ever elusive, this halcyon, so small

She sleeps among the rippling waves

Then flies away, we know not when

And so we wait until the time is right

For this wondrous bird, to return again

Cold December moon

Illuminates the heavens,

Awaits the solstice
