The Shortest Day
It’s hard to understand;
From now on days expand.
The blue sky is set fair;
Leaves crunch in bracing air.
Though calm before a storm
Will flatter to deceive,
We fleetingly believe
That this is the new norm.

I loved the line
Leaves crunch in the bracing air
and the reference to new norms.
Poetic and clever, Stephen. Merry Christmas. John
Ne’er cast a clout till May be out.
