Winter By Judith Nicholls

Judith Nicholl turns ordinary things of life into myths and mysteries, grand stories, amusing songs or epic tales. On the other hand, she takes the mighty Roman empire – and packs it up into 40 words! Judith reads her poems in a slow, thoughtful way. If you listen to ‘Winter’, you can hear how she allows the music of each word to sound fully. https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/winter/ Judith makes use of traditional poetic forms, including ballad and riddle. Some of the poems have a refrain which makes them sound rather like a song.
