WINTER CALYPSO

By Josie Whitehead

Black Snowflake

You can sing this poem to the music of: 

CALYPSO CAROL.  See also my poem:

Christmas Calypso

Winter Calypso

Sunshine sparkling on an icy lake;
Glistening frost as on a Christmas cake;
On my window lands a small snowflake.
     Winter’s come to freeze the toes.

​

Shivering birds are sitting in the tree;
Small black eyes are watching over me;
Do you want food?  Oh yes, they all agree!
     Winter’s come to freeze the toes.

​

Cold clear air will take your breath away;
Lots of clothing keeps the chill at bay;
People say that it’s a 'healthy' day.
     Winter’s come to freeze the toes.

​

Frosty meadows shining in the sun;
Children sledging, having lots of fun;
Hear dogs bark as in the snow they run.
     Winter’s come to freeze the toes.

​

The forecaster now gives us his advice:
A car journey?  I  think you should think twice,
For cars are skidding round upon the ice.
     Winter’s come to freeze the toes.

​

The sun tells cold winds that they must depart,
And melts the ice – oh well, that's just a start -
But it's a lovely day for photographic art.
      Winter’s come to freeze the toes.
