The Shortest Day-Coldest Year

The shortest day of the year Winter solstice cold icy air Nibble at my skin Dec. 21st two thousand ten It’s cold in the south Overseas in Europe, mammoth snowfalls Hundreds of planes grounded And thousands of people marooned It’s wet in the California Heavy rains, flood lands Take over sundry homes, folks wading waters Cars congested, mired traffic In the winter chaos A lunar eclipse spectacular Captured the minds of countless Won’t chance again till Dec. 10th 2011

Up to the minute poem, Barbara. Well done. (Might check out 7th line for typo). Nice to read one of yours. Love, Joyce
