the undefeated winter sun by 4 ropy couplets for solstice poetrys

…

the branches of the trees are bare

of leaves once green in summer fair


when hedgehogs sleep - nymphs disappear

down to the southern hemisphere


the nights are long like war & peace

there's whooper swans & there's brent geese


the undefeated winter sun

the rise of day has re-begun

...























( author notes )

whooper swans & brent geese migrate here for winter

that's why they're in it innit
