From “January” by Betty Adcock:
Wind hisses and one shadow
sways where a window’s lampglow
has added something. The rest
is dark and light together tolled
against the boundary-riven
houses. Against our lives,
the stunning wholeness of the world.
January is about: darkness and light; shadows and sun; keeping the cold outside and the inside warm; and, lots and lots of books.
“Winter Twilight” by Anne Porter:
On a clear winter’s evening
The crescent moonAnd the round squirrels’ nest
In the bare oakAre equal planets.
No one loves snow more than this little girl…
And, she never wants to go inside!
