Linda Alice Fowler Poet Acrostic

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.

It ticks all my poetry boxes Linda. A very belated congratulations on POTD. Cheers - Gary Linda Alice Fowler January 10, 2025 at 8:31 AM You are so kind Gary. I enjoy your visits! Thank you! :)
