Winter Solstice - Haiku

In the Northern Hemisphere, Winter solstice 2019 was at 8:19 PM on Saturday, December 21. I love Winter Solstice because it means days are getting longer and hopefully sunny weather is only a few months away. One of my favorite birds is the American Robin because they stay here in the PNW throughout the winter and don’t seem to be affected by the long, dark winter days. Following is a haiku to celebrate Winter Solstice and the American Robin

The Winter Solstice 
Like the song of a robin 
Tonic for the blues

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Days getting longer
After the Winter Solstice
Brightens my spirit

First day of winter 
Brought sunshine and long shadows 
Summer is coming
