Sonnettics

The days are getting longer now, hooray!
Says little Meekoo as he climbs a tree
The forest won’t seem quite as dark today
The forest is where Meekoo likes to be

When Yule begins, the winter starts to end
And Meekoo knows that spring will be here soon
A fact on which he knows he can depend
As surely as the stars, the sun, the moon

The moon is cold, the stars all twinkle pure
The sun gives light and makes the springtime warm 
Of this and more young Meekoo can be sure
As sure as cold and snow in winter’s storm

Young Meekoo knows the hope the Yule can bring
The hope of life revived in precious spring.
