Karima Brooke
Let’s not wait any longer,
let’s hang out the washing!
Voices of doubt say: ‘But you’re almost
drowning in snow’.
Voices of caution say: ‘Not even the birds
are out today’.
The trees are stark naked
and will remain so
for a long, long, time.
We, the optimists say: ‘Look
how bright our clothes are
against the snow’.
If we hang out the washing,
then the Wind will come.
If we hang out the washing,
the Sun will surely come,
because the Wind and Sun
like to play Hide and Seek,
especially in Winter.
