Flashback December: Yule

[meridian_rose]

For this month I'm featuring some older works newcomers haven't seen and others might not remember. I'd love to see others share their past work; there's nothing wrong with celebrating earlier creations any more than there is re-reading a favourite book or re-watching a film!

This week's poems feature Yule/Winter Solstice, which this year occurs on 22 December.


Solstice Haiku
Midsummer draws near
But in the south it's winter
That reaches its peak


Poem: Yule

We wait for Yule
the shadows lengthening
the darkness surrounding us
for some a welcome relief
a chance to breathe
before a new start
the winter solstice
the longest night before
the rebirth of the light
brings promise of spring
to hold onto through
the winter months ahead
the wheel has turned

Really loving your poems. I loved the visual imagery of the second one especially.
