April Fool's Day

By Josie

01 April 2008

Well, it is April Fool's Day and I have been fooled with all the changeable weather here in Ilkley.

The sun comes out, the rain goes in.
Oh, it’s April, don’t you know?
The cold wind blows with a cheeky grin –
As the seedlings strive to grow.

The rain pours down, the sunshine hides.
It’s an April game for sure.
When the wind comes back, the sun’s inside
Our weather’s so unsure.

Two steps forwards, one step back
Hot sun, then wind that’s cool –
Now the rain comes forward to attack
Whilst we are April fools.

Well done. The title drew me in and I enjoyed this poem. If only I had small children to read it to. ( ;

Hello Tom. Yes, it is a shame you can't read it to small children. The shame is that we don't get many children to give us the reveiws that we need in this section. I do try to read my poems to children whenever I get the chance. Thank you for your review though. Much appreciated.

I'm young and I like this poem very much Josie.

This is nice and light. Your choice of words and vivid imagery means that the playful theme shines through. Well done.
