Yellow doughnut lamp

A haiku about a small source of warmth during winter

One lamp in the dark,

Yellow light on frozen walls,

Polar night goes on.

A/N

Polar night is a phenomenon that occurs during winter when the Sun remains below the horizon for more than 24 hours. This is the opposite to the midnight sun, also called polar day, which occurs when the Sun remains above the horizon for over 24 hours. The farther up North you are, the longer the polar night is. There are places where the polar night starts at the end of November and lasts until mid January.
