December Nights

Daylight fades away early
Even though our day is not done.
Clumps of snow shimmer in pearly,
Enchanting drifts, reflecting the disappearing sun.
My love stokes ardent embers to glowing
Beneath hungry stockings hopefully hung.
Enthusiasm with warmth flowing,
Remembering times when we were young.

Now golden days are growing shorter,
Illuminated by our fireside memories.
Glimmering from the hearth’s bricks and mortar, 
Halcyon dreams highlight sweet histories, 
Tumbling through gibbous and crescent quarter,
Soothing as we smile at life’s mysteries.

Gary Radice Date: 1/9/2025 11:29:00 PM An atmospheric and beautifully descriptive acrostic that flows and where the rhyming doesn't feel 'shoehorned to fit' in any way, shape or form. It ticks all my poetry boxes Linda. A very belated congratulations on POTD. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 1/10/2025 8:31:00 AM You are so kind Gary. I enjoy your visits!
