December Days Poem by Khairul Ahsan
December Days
December days in Bangladesh
Are the best of all!
Short and cool,
The gardens all around colourful,
Sprightly sunflowers worship the sun
New grains are stacked in the farmers' barn.
New vegetables grown in farmlands,
Find their way into the kitchen stands.
The misty morning turns into a bright day
As the sun appears and the mist goes away.
In December, the afternoons are hard to find,
The noon seems to be in a hurry to hide behind.
Today is the Winter Solstice.
Very few people will take notice
Of the shortest day and the longest night,
Oh, how soon the day will go out of sight!
On such a short December day I was born
On a Sunday, just before the sun went down.

Here in the hills of 'South' Carolina (on the porch of our 'new home') it's about 40F (44.444444 Centigrade/Celsius) . Brrrrr! And we expect lows of under 20F for several nights, but maybe no snow.
Well, it's the Canadians sending their 'Arctic air' our way. 4 stars. As the sun was setting that Sunday, another body was coming forth to illuminate India! : )
