Winter Solstice Poem by Ima Ryma

Winter Solstice



The solstice in the winter time,
Latin for the sun standing still,
Makes the day when the sun does climb
In its lowest arc that it will.
Thus, shortest period of daylight
Which also means another fact -
Tiz the longest annual night.
Every year comes this impact.
Insofar as the reason why -
The axial tilt of the Earth,
As it does go rotating by.
The sun is cause - for what it's worth.

Humankind throughout history -
Some take solstice time to party.
