Tempis fugit, seasons change
The Harvest Moon begins to wane
And the solar terminator
Is perpendicular to the equator
Daylight retreats and night remains
In response to Mind and Life Matters limerick poetry challenge; the prompt this week was “seasons.”
I didn’t exactly follow the rules and include all four seasons…

Such a creative take! Love this, Meg. 💜

That may be my least favorite thing about winter. It’s dark when I leave for work and nearly dark when I get home. That and freezing my ass off. That sucks too. 😃

I know what you mean. I like all four seasons but do miss the lack of daylight. I even like snow. And shoveling it, can you believe it? And stacking firewood… Oh I can’t wait!

Thank you, Frank. It feels like the stretch of long nights last longer than the daylight does during the summer months!

You know, I think Norwegians are some of the happiest people on the planet. Or perhaps its Sweden… too lazy to look it up, but its one of the Scandinavian countries. I think its expensive but perhaps they get what they pay for.

I think they are all pretty happy up in Scandinavia. Norway is super expensive but they are loaded. They were rich and then they discovered vast oil deposits. Also the kroner is a titanium strong that currency.

The more subtle charms of autumn, over the more showy magic of spring (lambs? yuck!); summer (a bit of sun’s nice, but come on…) and winter (ditto snow)… 🙂
