As we prepare again for the darkest time of the year, here is some fiction to shed light, or shade, as the case may be.
Read MoreNo sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.

No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!
