Winter Solstice ~ by: Julia P. (December 2019) {A Poem}

Bright white stars nightly
sunset way high in the sky
purples, reds, yellows, pinks.

White corn, stalks grown
snow fallen, fresh glows with the sun
cut down, newly harvested.

Feeds the cows well
meats, chickens, horses, sheep, goats eat too
eggs to pick up.

Carrots stuck in the dirt
potatoes dug out from dirt like onions
sweet potatoes built alike.

Vines and flowers die
cows give colder milk to pasteurize, cream
goats give as well.

Can't sheer the sheep
all woolly in winter, way too cold
the baa-ing their voice.

Pigs to be watered
also fed, the rotten food, from home
will also eat pork.

Schlop, plop it goes
honk goes the goose and duck, swimming
chicks peep and turkeys gobble.

Neigh, moo, cluck, baa
farm life living the best sunset life
my animals that bark and meow.

Rise of the sun
Do it all over again, today's chores
hopefully have fun.

Stars disappear behind the sun
Sunrise way up high in the sky
Brightness of yellow and white.

The Rooster crows...
