'DECEMBER SECRETS': A POEM ABOUT THE DECEMBER IMAGE FROM THE 'NIKA'S TINY HOUSE' 2020 CALENDAR...

 December Secrets…

(from the December image in the 2020 'Nika's Tiny House' calendar…)



Stiff, frozen washing forms

Forlorn bunting across an unshuttered window

And peeps just inside

At a Christmas tree, its colours aglow

And the impression is one of uncompromising cold…


Stark, high weathered walls

Are worn, smarting at winter’s chilling blow

And steep, they preside

Over the littered, clinging December snow

And the impression is one of secrets untold…
