Emerging December.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Emerging December.

 

Stars like sparks splutter to bed

as dawn catches fire.

Sun's smut-red lips lower bend 

to kiss passing night.


Wintery glow wakens ending 

to autumnal skies.  

Emerging December intends 

to limit day's light.

 

But lit hearths and drawn blinds lessen

the wait for springtime.

      The upcoming Festive Season never feels quite the same in the Antipodes - but thanks for the memories, Fay.

        Yes I knew the poem woild only appeal to those who know December as the month of wintery change. but there are those too who have memories of cold and ice at earth's other side and shudder as heat melts their festive season. Glad you enjoyed the read though Dave.

            You may see more of December emerging, or any month for that matter, near the coast.
            The only 'coastal' stuff I will see is the duck pond near the Co-op! lol.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Thanks for your thoughts on weather change Orchi. - -- Hope the pond's water is not freezing over for December's incoming brings time fo ice and ducks like to swim and not slide.

              December - We have 5 grandkids and 1 daughter-in-law with December birthdays + Christmas. So, a lot of time spent shopping and the days keep getting shorter (daylightwise}.
              But hey, it's a truly festive time and our tradition is what we call "Scrooge Night," a family gathering and gift exchange. Needless to say it's a very BIG month to us. Loved your poem. It is all truth that you speak _ Phil A.
