Sliced pineapple chills in ice cubed glass;
cool solstice sun tops surging surfs

The shortest day of the year, the darkest
Someone I do not know tells me this,
They say it is the hibernal solstice
Officially, the beginning of winter --
Which has been threatening for weeks
While warmth my body desperately seeks,
And my psyche, like an Olympic sprinter
Toward the gold medal demanding notice,
Upon receiving it experiences true bliss
And, unlike him, spring days are my quest.

frequently use in writing poems for
which I can't find a suitable format.]

Quatrains of Hibernal 2020
By David J Walker
I
The hibernal task of passing a year of Retributions
Scribes of the Anno Mundi write in prose of those who are left behind
Those who did not believe the mask and the lambs' blood
Were one and the same
II
The solution was said to be written on a paper ballot
And the change in the balance of power
would bear salvation to a
nation still divided by dry ideas
III
The joy of the seasons were seen, if at all,
In a black and white rendering
Of the world with faint memory of
Any other color
IV
The end, of course
Would not be the end
But the beginning of an undetermined
Measure of recovery

Timeless tapestry of love transfixed
Omniscient oracles of my soul eclipsed
Undying love for you reviving remains
Cathedrals praying poetic pensive pains
Hibernal hearts with calamitous chains.

She peers at captivation
Moon swindling her frore heartbeat
Beams tearing the soul outward
She stands firm with ground
Wings sprout out, after ice thaws
Whispering desolation
Whirls around her and she cuts
The emotion out
Forgive her please, if you will,
For she only spreads her wings
For those who can captivate
As well as this moon
