Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Autumn Weeps

Summer hung her head in sorrow
wondering about a new tomorrow
over summer she began to lose leaves
one by one they sauntered to the ground
she called- they would not return
she could not revive the lifeless leaf
her dress no longer shades green
for the dryness stripped her colors
now looking forlorn and barren
she had to welcome in fall 
she apologized for her undress
as rain did not stop to visit
fall will not have the grandeur
to dress in her mutable shades
making her very sad that day.
