Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice

long night, short day
sun southbound
shanty town
shadows glancing sideways
running northbound

cold night, brisk day
sun-rays found
slanted down
reflections of bare trees
snowman bound

white night, gray day
snowflakes gyrate
cover rolling fields
moonlight reflects ice
cycles rotate

midnight, noonday
sun silent
chasing moonbeam
time still
moving so quietly

winter solstice

(c) D.E. Clark

I very much like this, Dale. It is crisp and unique with some direct and startling images. Reminds me of a laser show and I like this means of highlighting your thoughts. I find the form in stark contrast to the subject matter and that I find refreshing. Brings me wide-open thoughts on a topic that is normally associated with brevity and duskiness. Have a very happy and healthy new year. Kate xx

Well done, I look forward to these times though for it gives the body and mind time to slow down and redefine the direction we will move in.

Beautifully written Dale. I like the style. It's a change for you and a very good one. I hope it's on its way to TWF.
Happy New Year,
Marcia

Really cool (no pun intended), Dale. I saw the title and I wondered what you were going to do with a time fixed by pagans to celebrate the natural cycle of death becoming rebirth on this longest night. You did well and you caught the essence of it. Nice :-)

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
