I liked the wising up and shunning of superstitious belief. Had images of Stone Henge whilst reading. Nicely done.

It’s the opposite here though… shorter days, colder nights. Brrrr… Winter on its way.

Interesting poem.

Salaam, shorter days only till solstice, then larger days. Hence the mystery, if the days are getting longer, why is it still getting colder?
For you, a simple answer. You live in England, the land of perpetual dampness and bed warmers. We in the US are blessed with sunny skies, warm Spring rains, and occasional rainbows. Sure glad we stole this place from its original inhabitants.

Very interesting!… but it’s different when you\’re in Asia

Sorry AlmaG, not if you are north of the equator. Daylight gets shorter as you approach winter solstice and then longer afterward, as you approach the vernal equinox. It is logical to think that the coldest days should correspond to the shortest days, but it takes the earth a while to catch up. It doesn’t really warn up until spring starts, by which time the day is about half day and half night. Astronomy 101.

I wonder if the virgins were willing to die for real or if they were screaming to their deaths.
