JOSIE'S POEMS
Winter-Spring Poems
By Josie Whitehead
DON'T BE FOOLED
By Josie Whitehead
On the river’s surface
Light has fallen as from Heaven itself:
Lightness – brightness – lucidity,
Sprinkled with silver fairy dust,
To dance, move and bewitch
Amongst the latticework of branches
Reflected in the dark water.
Above the river’s surface
Pea green buds on trees announce
That Spring will soon reveal herself.
Children shout, birds sing, water ripples
And the sun shines from a cloudless sky.
Don’t be fooled, though -
Winter’s still shaking his finger at us!

This poem accompanies my Yorkshire poems as I wrote it after walking by the River Wharfe in Ilkley one cold February morning. Our British weather is such a tease. Josie
