Wintertime

December 21, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner 8 Comments

Wintertime at last! Yule
is upon us, the longest
night, frigid and frosty, warming my heart.
Twinkle, twinkle peaceful star. Mother
Earth
renewed.

Shortest day
often unnoticed, nature
lies dormant, silent—
slumbering, yet stirring.
Through the ages, a spell
is cast, enchanting and joyful,
celebrating the sun’s
eternal rebirth.

Happy Winter Solstice!

    Happy Winter Solstice to you and your family. Beautiful musical pairing. Like Tom said, “you know your music!”

    December 21, 2012. The Kukulcan is coming. (Twelve million Mayans can’t be wrong.)

    Talya, I kind of like this format for poetry, but I have no idea what to call it. Do you have a name for the category?

      This is an acrostic poem. The first letter of each line spells a word(s). In this case, Winter Solstice. The individual lines are about the word. They are fun to write. And I’m no poet:)
