Longest Day
Light in the Darkness
Darkness upon us
The light of the world is born
Winter Solstice comes
A bright new day is dawning
Overcoming our darkness

Today on Frank Tassone’s Haikai challenge he asked us to write a poem about the Winter Solstice which will occur this coming week.
Elongated Day
Frank asked us to write some couplets for d’Verse today. Since this is the first day of summer in our hemisphere, he suggested that we write about the Solstice. This is my summer couplet.
Summer came by with elongated day
Sweating and steaming I came out to play
Sunrays unrelenting, I went inside
In air-conditioned comfort I’ll reside
Exaggerated day will come and go
I’m looking forward to next winter’s snow
Until then it’s iced tea and shady trees
On these long hot days let me feel the breeze
