I have a friend who is a Montessori teacher. She sent this poem for the Winter Solstice (today). What poems are quietly napping about your home? Here is a place to share them with neighbors. More winter poems?


I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a Bird Sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing and sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September."
I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.
