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
