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.
Here we have the hearth lit and blinds drawn to hurry spring along!!! Apropos.
What could be better than crackling log fires at this time of year eh - - -- thanks Rik for dropping in to my take on the start of December.

Keep those wooly long-Jphn's on dearest Dusk or you might get the thin end of December's cold weather... - - - - lovely to get your take on the poem.
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.
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.
